Description
^_^ little monarch butterfly caterpillar clinging to the favorite plant of the species.the plant is called a milkweed pod and the butterflies lay eggs on them because the leaves make the caterpillars taste terrible, so, with combination of those warning stripes and terrible taste, more predators will leave them alone.
smart bug if you ask me.
NOTE: this is the ONLY photo i've submitted without changing ANYTHING.

While I'm a believer in that editing is a big part in the process of art no matter what kind of art. That shows how good you are that you can take a picture and not need to edit it. Because while editing skills are important it is just as important to be able to produce art without the need to edit it.

i like the way you put it! it takes quite an eye to be able to decide what might be a good shot (and sometimes just a random point-and-shoot miracle XD), but the editation shows you're dedicated to atristic perfection (if not perfection...something eye-pleaseing, right?
