This challenge should be a good bit easier than the last one. Remember you can click on the photo to see a larger version.
One thing I find challenging for these types of shots is trying to reproduce what the eye sees (or doesn’t see as the case may be). The flash tends to make whatever was previously relatively hidden stand out.
I actually spotted this critter the night before. Using a headlamp, just like a camera flash, tends to make otherwise difficult to spot things stand out. I returned the following day to attempt the shot above.
I can see this one. Am I supposed to say where? I don’t want to spoil it for others.
Sure, leave a comment with what you think it is and where. I don’t think it spoils anything.
OK, first upward-pointing stem from the upper right, the first leaf up from the branch on the left. There’s a green caterpillar/larva with white bands. Good camouflage.
Haha. I noticed something odd about that particular leaf, looked at it, looked away, looked back at it, and still didn’t see it until I read the comments here. And now it’s totally obvious. 🙂
