Nice going, Catherine -- good enough for a ribbon in some challenges. I like knowing that you set this up yourself, rather than just discovering it. You made those little models pay for the parsley. I curious how you accomplished the nice background bokeh with the long DOF. BTW, I like the variation in color between the two caterpillars.

I was not really sure about the filter applied to this one but I think the highlights are what grabbed me. It is luminescent and playful.

Great shot! :)
The background is a pleasing color and the DOF is perfect. It'd be fun to track them in their stages of life till they emerge as a full fledged butterfly. The process of when they turn into a chrysallis is amazing to watch and it can happen in just 15min. They do give you a warning , they start to attach themselves to a place they find sturdy. May hang there a few hours to a day before it starts to happen. I think it depends on the enivornment and how long they are left completely undisturbed.

The one on the right looks a lot like a Swallowtail caterpillar. Found one last year during the early fall season, the story's here //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=416843
