Polka-Dot Wasp Moth caterpillar

Now that the dust is setting a bit in my personal life, I am starting to notice new backyard models for my project.
These are always fun and inspirational and I have been putting them off for too long.
Now that I am in a new home an new location I have a new crop of backyard treasures to populate my photo collection. The overall theme is to show the beauty in the creatures that live their lives right under our noses. I use either black or white backdrops so not to take away from the subject and always treat every creature with respect. Every one is unharmed and released back to the wild after the photos.
