Urban wildlife photography

The fat, plump and the hirsute.

I guess the heading may well foil Google searches?  Its amazing what can be hunted out in the garden for macro shots.  Here is an array of the hairy, bristly or just plain smooth.  They sure have keen appetites though…..

    • Yes, i guess we’ve got to look at the whole cycle, thank the moths/butterflies for their pollination services against the voracious appetites of the caterpillars?! :)

  2. Normally I’m not going to look at creepy crawlies —
    But somehow yours look different.
    Maybe because the eyes that saw them and captured them were loving?

    • Yes, i’m intrigued by their gorgeous ‘couture’! But you’re right, there have been aggregations (infestations!) of the Cape Lappet, where they strip down swathes of vegetation, trees.

  8. I simply love these! Especially the hairy ones. But the little green one with a tail is heartbreakingly look -a -like my late dachshund…

    • Yes, the hairy have style! Sorry for reminding you of your late dachshund.. that’s an unexpected similarity. But i get the connection with the same sort of stocky back end shape.
