Hello hivers. I love photographing insects, they have very striking designs and colors and are perfect for macro and color photos, that way you can better appreciate their small but fascinating bodies that are the envy of engineers, architects and artists. But what happens when an insect is black and white? Well, it makes an excellent model for a monochromatic photo shoot hehehe.
Esta oruga la encontré durante una de mis visitas domingueras al parque y por supuesto no iba a dejar pasar tan maravillosa oportunidad para hacerle unas fotos, ella estaba bastante alto sobre el tronco de un árbol y tuve que estirarme y estar largo rato con lo brazos hacia arriba para poder acercarme con mi teléfono 🥴🥵, pero al final valió la pena 😉.
I found this caterpillar during one of my Sunday visits to the park and of course I was not going to miss such a wonderful opportunity to take some photos, it was quite high on the trunk of a tree and I had to stretch out and stand for a long time with my arms up so I could get closer with my phone 🥴🥵, but in the end it was worth it 😉.
Esta es la oruga de la polilla Dirphia avirosensis (Saturniidae), la cual habita en casi toda Sudamérica. Las he visto con frecuencia en el parque y siempre sobre los árboles, aunque también se esconden en la parte inferior de las hojas de plantas de menor tamaño. Suelen andar en grupo y así las he visto en otras ocasiones, pero esta estaba sola 🤷🏻♀️, quizás discutió con sus hermanos 🙄🤭.
This is the caterpillar of the moth Dirphia avirosensis (Saturniidae), which lives in almost all of South America. I have seen them frequently in the park and always on trees, although they also hide in the underside of the leaves of smaller plants. They usually are in groups and I have seen them like that on other occasions, but this one was alone 🤷🏻♀️, maybe she argued with her brothers and sisters 🙄🤭.
Como ocurre con la mayoría de las orugas, su cuerpo está cubierto de espinas y pelos altamente tóxicos y urticantes que al contacto con la piel producen un gran dolor, ardor y sensación de quemadura, por lo que no se deben tocar, de hecho, a excepción de las larvas de algunas moscas y avispas, no tienen casi depredadores. Me gusta agarrar los insectos que me consigo, sin embargo, en esta ocasión obligatoriamente me tuve que quedar con las ganas de tocarla jajaja 🤷🏻♀️.
As with most caterpillars, their body is covered with spines and highly toxic and stinging hairs that in contact with the skin, cause great pain and a burning sensation, so they should not be touched, in fact, except for the larvae of some flies and wasps, they have almost no predators. I like to grab the insects I get, however, on this occasion I had to keep wanting to touch it hahaha 🤷🏻♀️.
Después de pasar por el proceso de la metamorfosis, esta oruga se convertirá en una polilla de color rosado, marrón y amarillo que no se alimentará ya que no tendrá boca, su vida será corta y morirá después de reproducirse (macho) y de poner sus huevos (hembra) 😕☹️.
After going through the metamorphosis process, this caterpillar will become a pink, brown and yellow moth that will not feed since it will not have a mouth, its life will be short and it will die after reproducing (male) and laying its eggs (female) 😕☹️.
A pesar de que no fue fácil ni cómodo hacer estas fotos, disfruté mucho el proceso, y más aún pasar estas fotos a blanco y negro, este formato les quedó como anillo al dedo 👌🏻 ¿Qué opinan ustedes?
Even though it wasn't easy or comfortable to take these photos, I really enjoyed the process, and even more so converting these photos to black and white, this format fit them like a glove 👌🏻, What do you think?
Bueno amigos, espero les haya gustado esta publicación y recuerden disfrutar la belleza de las orugas pero sin tocarlas jejeje. Muchas gracias por su tiempo. Salud y felicidad infinitas para todos 🌞🍀.

Extraña Oruga
Totalmente, la naturaleza es tan sorprendente, que para los que la admiramos es imposible no sentirnos fascinados por las increíbles criaturas que forman parte de ella, cada una más hermosa e interesante que la otra jejeje. 💚
Así mismo es @gatubela, naturaleza hermosa

Awesome shots! At first, I wondered what colors this cool creature could have but then, I realized that I actually saw the same (or very similar) species in Costa Rica so I know haha :)

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it 😁.
Wow, that caterpillar is amazing 😍, what beautiful colors 😃, but although it looks a little my caterpillar, the one I found is white, look:
That's why I thought about posting it in black and white hehehe.
Wow! That´s interesting. But now I understand. I usually put my pictures into monochrome only when they are grey or dull. I don´t like when people use monochrome for vibrant colorful photos :)
Hahaha, that's right 🤭, well, not always dull or grey, because this caterpillar isn't, but nostalgic, sad and introspective photos yes, you know, there are really good photographers who are masters of black and white and even the colored images look great on their hands but I'm just a begginer and I think that colors are so beautiful that deserve to be shown as they are 🌈. Do you know which photos I really like into black and white format? Portraits, when they are taken by good photographers of course hahaha 😉, like @jlinaresp 👌🏻, he's truly a master of monochrome 😉.
This caterpillar looks good this way because it's already black and white 🤭🤭🤭
Yeah, many people think that putting any picture into monochrome immediately makes it a piece of art but it doesn´t work like this. Making impressive b&w photos takes talent, just like any other photography category. And yes, @jlinaresp is a master of this category ;) I agree that in most cases though, colors naturally occurring in nature should be shown in their full splendor.
"A master of monochrome"... Awwwww, @gatubela and @phortun friends... You make me blush! hahaha :))... But thank you very much for this kind comment and mention!!!!... But yes, I like the most to take my photos in B&W, I find that they tend to transmit a ‘more psychological’ message... I've had to live in a decaying small town, so that influences a lot my choices when it comes to processing... Regarding B&W editing, there is a lot of advice everywhere, but may be the best thing to do is to take the photos until you ‘feel that everything is right in it’... Some photos need more light, others less, the same goes for contrast, vignettes and all the things that are used for B&W.... Curiously, I find it much more difficult to edit for B&W than for colour... But I don't know, maybe it's just ‘my own tricks’... hehehe :)).... Thanks again for this good time dear friends!!!... ;)

You absolutely deserve this mention @jlinaresp, you are the best black and white photographer here in Hive 🏆🤍🖤📸, and my favorite 😁. I think that more than all those technical specifications, and "your tricks" hahaha, what counts is having that introspective vision that makes you see and capture the essence of each naked image, when the colors lose all their influence on the subject, the landscape or whatever is in front of you at that moment. Ensure that when others see the photo, they aren't interested in knowing what colors were present there because the photo speaks to them from a different perspective than color. That's art 👌🏻 and you make art 👏🏻.
You're welcome 😺🤗

Absolutely, it doesn't work like that, I wish it were that easy hahaha 🥴. A lot of talent and a special vision to see the things around us in a more introspective way 🤍🖤.
I love colors, specially nature's colors 🌈🌻🌳🍄🌺🌊🍂🌾🐦🦚🦊🐯🐠🦜🐛🦋.
Interesante post con unas fotos espectaculares. Como todo organismo, aún siendo pequeño, tendrá sus mecanismos de defensa ante lo que considera un intruso.
En la naturaleza todo tiene un equilibrio. Los animales más grandes por su tamaño y fuerza imponen respeto, pero tienden a ser inofensivos en cuanto a que muchos son hervíboros o carecen de afilados dientes, ej. Tiburón ballena, Ballenas. En el otro extremo, los más pequeños están provistos de mecanismos para la inoculación de potentes tóxicos que hasta pueden ser letales. Ej. Caracoles Conus, la cubomedusa conocida como la Avispa del Mar, ciertas especies de serpientes, entre otros.
Por ello, es mejor apreciar a estos hermosos organismos en su medio, sin tocarlos o manipularlos.
Mis saludos
Muchísimas gracias, me alegra que te gusten y que te haya parecido interesante. Si, por supuesto, siempre hay que ser precavidos en el manejo de estos fascinantes amiguitos 😉.
Claro, así es, los pequeños tienen más depredadores y por esa misma razón tienen sus maneras de protegerse y sobrevivir, y también se reproducen en mayores cantidades y con más frecuencia porque están en la parte más baja de la cadena alimenticia 🤷🏻♀️.
Gracias nuevamente por pasar y apreciar, feliz fin de semana, saludos 😺🤘🏻🤗.
wow, this is extraordinarily beautiful
Yes that's true, very beautiful 🤍🖤, and very dangerous, too hehehe. I'm glad you liked it 😁, thanks for your support 😺🤘🏻🤗
You're welcome.
😀 Qué cosa más rara por tu vida. Iba para un cosplay o algo?
Jajaja, si vale, a lo mejor iba a una convención de esas jejeje 🦸🏻♀️🦹🏻♀️👾, las orugas son realmente seres fascinantes y muy extraños, sobretodo las de las polillas.
Me alegra que te guste @nanixxx 😺🤘🏻🤗
😍😘 Muy interesante. Me cautivó.
Me alegra que esta oruga te haya cautivado 🤍🖤🥰.
