Title: Pink striped Oakworm Caterpillar
Post by: ScreaminScott on March 02, 2015, 04:10:40 pm

This is a fairly common caterpillar, but most people are more familiar with the black & yellow striped Oakworm caterpillars. This pink one has parasite eggs on it's "antennae"

Another beauty! What equipment are you using, if I may ask?

Thanks, I use an older manual focus 105mm F2.8 "Lester Dine"  with a matching "Lester Dine" ring/point light on a Nikon D300
