Very nice shots, sawman. That caterpillar orgy is something else!!

I also love how the butterfly completely covers the flower, dont see that often.

Nice colorful shot!

Calm yourself Janice there is only one animal ( 99.9% sure on that) that is capable of breeding in the "larval" stage and its NOT pillercatters
Nice shots BTW
