This is what we would call a "Wooly Bear Caterpillar" when I was a lad although that may not be a real name for it. I used a microscope objective as the camera's lens and my go-to translucent drink cups placed onto the objective with the caterpillar under it. The drink cup diffuser was illuminated from four directions to counter cast shadows.

I've included a picture of this technique (with a beetle) for those who may want to see how I do this.

As always, thanks in advance to all those who view and for your comments, suggestions, questions and critique.

Interesting technique and consistent with the old expression, "a face only a mother could love."
