Every fall in Cape Breton the tussock moth caterpillars make their appearance, and this past weekend they put on a real show for me. A dozen banded tussocks marched back and forth across the banister at my uncle's house as post-tropical storm Lee passed us by, giving me an opportunity to try out my macro lens. #CapeBreton #NovaScotia #Caterpillar #InsectPhotography #MacroPhotography

This was definitely one of the cutest of the shots I got. Though, theyhave this feathery plumes on their fronts and backs that make them kind of adorable from all angles
