A mosquito larvae in a yellow bucket. Apologies for the color folks, mom-mozzie chose it.

Hoping to get better images soon. I have put a few water containers around the place hoping they will deposit their eggs in them.

Some hatched eggs from a Hyalophora cecropia (giant silk moth). The odd one out hatched the following day. I've been rearing these moths for a couple years now, they're great fun.

Nice! We're having a great year for mosquitoes, I'm sure I could ship you several billion if you're in need of more subjects.

Very, very kind of you to offer, but I will have to pass on that one.

I'm sorry to see so many of the wonderful images that were in this thread have disappeared due to the Photobucket issue.

A little Luna Moth caterpillar. I've seen the adult stage a couple times from far, far away, so I was pretty excited when a friend offered me some eggs. They're getting to the piggly stage when they eat and poop at a phenomenal rate. Hooray for exponential growth...

Hooray indeed Brian !!

Thank you for dusting off this thread and posting another excellent image buddy. It's winter here, and the little " pre " critters are hard to come by, but sooooon I hope to capture a few.

PS. Very glad that you are not with Photobucket. Too many wonderful images gone methinks.

I agree so went back - re-uploaded the images to a new linking service and repaired the links for my orphaned images back to page 1.

And here are a couple more for interest:

Terrific Arjay. Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to restore your lovely images, and posting some new ones.

Much appreciated on both counts mate.

I was lucky to stumble upon this relatively new thread. Here's a caterpillar I saw the other day shot with tamron 90mm on k70

More milkweed munchers. Glad to see these earlier this week as they have been very scarce for a long time.

A sphinx moth caterpillar ("hornworm") that I found trying to cross a parking lot.

I don't think the leaf has much of a future.
