What a ‘back-breaking’ curl from this caterpillar shape. Can’t say as I’ve even seen such a straight ‘stretch’ on any caterpillars at all. LikeLiked by 1 person Reply
This was going to be my comment, too! That caterpillar is definitely a yogi 😂😂😂. Lovely shot, Pete📸💕. -Emma LikeLiked by 2 people Reply
He sure is an acrobat! Check out, Pete, my last pose where the caterpillar is hanging 🙂 LikeLiked by 1 person Reply
Strangely, his shape reminds me of the “hook” on the end of that seed pod you recently showed. I don’t think he’s getting ready to latch on to something and travel, though! LikeLiked by 1 person Reply
Lol 🙂 No, I don’t think he will be travelling either, not in that fashion anyway 🙂 LikeLiked by 1 person Reply
I tried to do that once. But then realized that Yoga position wasn’t meant for me. LikeLiked by 2 people Reply

Dear Pete, Very good photo – looks like the worm is doing a kind of yoga asana 🙂 Have a great Sunday Didi LikeLiked by 1 person Reply
