Nice shots! I haven't seen any caterpillars so far this spring. I do wish I had a macro lens...

Canon 30D, with a Tamron SP AF Di (IF) 200-500mm 5-6:3 as my main lens. My old Sigma 28-300mm 3.5-6.3 lens isn't bad for macro but I'd like a better one, to be sure.

I think the raynox dcr 150 lense i bought for my fz7 bridge camera works fine on the end of a normal DSLR lens. Might be worth checking out as it only cost me about £25 with the universal adaptor

Creepy crawlers! Magnificent photos with or without the macro.

Do you have a book of caterpillars? I found one in the garden on Sunday.... goodness knows what it was but I'd love to ID it. Looked more like a grub than a caterpillar (it was underground). Look forward to the macros! Jane
