This print captures the incredible sight of ASW-4724, a group of Lappet / Eggar moth caterpillars, as they congregate on a branch in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape. These little critters are not your average caterpillars - they're like tiny rock stars with their vibrant colors and oh-so-hairy bodies! It seems these young larvae have chosen this spot to shed their old skin and embrace their new selves. It's like witnessing an insect version of Extreme Makeover: Caterpillar Edition! With each molt, they transform into even more stunning creatures. The lush greenery surrounding them adds to the magical ambiance, creating a picturesque scene straight out of an African fairytale. Alan Weaving has truly captured nature at its most enchanting. So grab your magnifying glass and prepare to be amazed by these fuzzy fellows from South Africa. Their hairy charm is irresistible!

Remember, though - don't mention commercial use; let's keep this charming moment all about appreciating wildlife in its purest form.
