Cabbage white caterpillar

A patch of nasturtiums in our central flower bed is currently being decimated by a horde of large cabbage white caterpillars. Since I have to fight to keep the nasturtiums from taking over said flower bed, I don't really begrudge them their feast.

Isn't it! The children love watching them.

I love the backlighting delineating the veins in the leaves.

Most of the time it's not great trying to take sun-facing macro photographs, but this was a worthwhile exception! :)
