I found this chap upon my Florence Fennel one morning whilst attending to the veggie patch. I was fascinated by its colours. I have only just identified it as a Swallowtail butterfly caterpillar but was pleased to share my fennel with it as they are such beautiful butterflies.
I tried to take photos from many angles to get the best view of the caterpillar which was not an easy task as the veggie patch was full to bursting and it was difficult keeping my footing in order not to stand upon anything growing and still keep a steady hand to take the shot.
I used my Panasonic FZ200 at f/4, 108mm, the sun was also quite bright so I had to ensure that the angle was right in order to keep as much glare out as possible, the runner beans helped to shade the area a little.
