Eating Caterpillar
I spotted this caterpillar eating away on this Jewel Weed several weeks ago . Don't know much about the anatomy or everyday functions of this species but it had some waste coming out the other end as it ate.

1DS Mark III
Sigma 150 2.8 macro
f4, 1/100, 100 ISO
lightdisc reflector - gold side

Good use of the reflector, and a good behavioral shot. It feels a touch cluttered, but it wouldn't clearly convey the habitat without showing it. So it goes with compromises it seems.
