Beautiful colors and shapes. Does it have eyes on its tail too ?

Binnur, I do not think this caterpillar has eyes at the tail end.

Oh, I thought those four black dots at the tail were eyes

Excellent captures, fine detail, and from a UK perspective very exotic

Steven, those are all first-rate captures of a very photogenic caterpillar. Although members of the Limacodidae family of moths can be found in the US, I don't recall ever seeing one of the caterpillars or moths.

I find it exotic too, and I am from South East Asis

Fascinating and colorful! I like your second shot the best. The composition is strong and it definitely makes you think about how varied the bug world is! I'm having trouble with the focus on the third shot.

I thot, I am suppose to be the one having the focus issue. BTW, thanks for the comments
