A late instar larva (caterpillar) of the Cabbage White butterfly (Pieris rapae).
Hand-held Nikon D5200 (24 Mp) at ISO 200, with Nikkor 105G macro lens, 1/200-sec at f/16, deep shade + Nikon SB-600 speedlight with FotoDiox 6x8-inch softbox diffuser.
I love that first shot, the light is great. Thanks for sharing!
I like that composition on #1 with the edge of the leaf. Well done!
Let's make it a trifecta, I prefer the first shot. Illumination is striking...
Hmm....I think I like the first shot best. Great detail in all.
The resolution of 24mp sure makes a difference to the amount of noise. Nice shooting.
First shot for me also, but I like them all.
Love all three! Lighting especially.
we have cabbage whites here in the summer but i havent seen the caterpillar yet
