I love photographing the creepy crawlies as long as they stay still and do not crawl to me. I used to be very squeamish about these little creatures until the sons came into my life. One of them was into insects, bugs....and would always bring some creepy crawlies home in a little bottle, in the pretense of studying them!
Whenever he tag along on my photo outing, he would be on the look-out for the creepy crawlies/ insects to be my model .

An ant guarding it's eggs.
A red catterpillar, which will turn into...
a leopard lacewing butterfly.
Another pretty catterpiller which I rather leave it alone after photographing..love it's gorgeous patterns on it's body, wonder what kind of butterfly will emerged from it?

Gorgeous creepy crawlies. I like the centipede with his brilliant colours. The caterpillars are amazing as well.
I did some research, your unidentified caterpillar may be a Vapourer caterpillar. Originally native inly to Europe, it's now found in Northern America and in much of Asia as well.
you found a great selection. I like the red one which looks like a sea cucumber.
these are truly awesome shots, all of them, love those ants, and would never see the beauty without your camera lens.
I love the way the centipede and ant seem to be in their environment -- nice angles. And the tarantula is definitly the creepiest one I've seen so far. And the ornate caterpillar is exotic!
Wow I prefer not to touch either but the colors are beautiful and great photography.

Great photos, Jama! I'm glad you are not as afraid of them as you used to be.
Interesting caterpillars... The spiders though I scroll quickly through, they give me creepy feelings all over!
I realize caterpillars has different colors and shapes. It just weird I haven't seen caterpillar anymore. Like yours shots Jama! Happy weekend and thanks for the visit!
Fantastic. That caterpillar looks like something I would wear as a piece of jewelry.
Amazing pics. The colours on centipede pic one are beautiful.
These are fantastic macros, you reveal an unknown world for me here. They all have beautiful colors and some are real artworks of mother nature.
