I am pretty sure that one turns into a nasty moth. ;)

It's a very beautiful photograph, and yet if it were already the butterfly I probably wouldn't give it a second glance. I suppose it's because it seems so harmonious this way; the caterpillar and the tree bark seem more comfortable with each other, while the adult butterfly would dominate the scene. 7.

Nice colors and lines, but not a great demo of a 1-second exposure.

Lovely, happy-making shot. And I hate tree caterpillars!
