Some kind of tent caterpillar? The little one is about 7mm long.
The tent was covered with them but between the time I saw them & took the photo I had to fix a flat tire & most of them crawled off. No doubt to do a number on the apple tree.
Second shot 105mm Nikkor with 36mm extension tube

Only temporarily. In the meantime, right after I took that photo, the thin plastic flange on the Opteka 36mm tube gave way & my lens & flash attachment fell off. Luckily no damage. I'll post (macro) photos of the flange later.:thumbup: you have reset your priorities is all :twisted: work has a way of getting in the way of my hobbies too
