I have a pair of sharp eyes, that is why you are not able to hide yourself from me. I like a butterfly more than you, though both of you are from the same family. You look so ugly and bare the trees once you are there, so fast.
What have interested me more are the water droplets that are found on your tiny hairs. They are for sure not your tears, you have no reason to cry. What do you want to cry for?
It rained last night but you have yet to get rid of them until now. Do you enjoy the crystal-like adornment, or simply find no way to shake them off?
I think of you again when I am seeing this piece of grass. It starts to bend its body due to the gravity force. It cannot help but has to bend itself.
I am afraid that you will fall due to the gravity force, the water droplets maybe too heavy to you. That's nothing to do with Newton and his apple, but the law still applies.

Will you fall like a parachute?
Your pictures of the water droplets on the caterpillar and grass are amazing. The detail is crisp and clear. Very well done!
ReplyDeleteI like those sparkly water droplets! I also wonder if the caterpillar can feel the weight of the drops and why they stay on.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos! You capture those tiny drops so well. Love your story to go along with this post too.
ReplyDeleteI too like taking photos of water droplets!
ReplyDeletegreat nature DEWels you have here, Rainfield. have a great weekend! it's nice reading your thoughts again and your photographs are professionally taken. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of the water droplets, rainfield. The caterpillar is hairy..
ReplyDeleteI really liked the last shot where the droplets are balancing on the blade of grass....excellent!
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing photos!
ReplyDeletewow, those are great pictures Rainfield, of dew drops on the caterpillar and grass, true to your name, you capture the beauty of the rain.
ReplyDeleteGeorge:
ReplyDeleteI do not know why I managed to find this caterpillar. It was deep inside, not to be visible easily. And to add further to my surprise, I found watr droplets on its body. So lucky.
Diane:
Pity little thing that did not have a backbone in fighting against the water droplets and gravity.
Ginnymo:
We need luck for some good pictures. I do have sometimes.
Kirigalpoththa:
Haha, we have another similarity.
Cher:
Thank you for the DEWels.
Icy BC:
Yes, the caterpillar is hairy....
The Retired One:
They get the balance at this moment, but not later.
The wind comes and they are gone.
Cheryl:
Warm picture for you who are in the winter.
betchai:
I always get confused by my name when people write something about rain. Are they writing about me?
Beautiful effect of water droplets rainfield. The droplets really looks heavy on it
ReplyDeleteoh! rainfield, the droplets are simply breathtaking...it is so vividly refreshing...and yes, it proved too heavy from the looks of it.
ReplyDeleteand i cringed at the sight of that hairy caterpillar. i feel itchy all over just looking at it...which only meant one thing, you did captured it perfectly!
eng
Hahahha...give him the parachute rain, no need to ask!
ReplyDeletewonderful shots! I did some water drop shots, but I haven't done a proper dewdrop one. Maybe I'll try that someday!
ReplyDeleteI love the ones that are "standing up" on the leaf!
ReplyDeletelove last picture!!! parachute?? i wanna skydive again!!!
ReplyDeleteinteresting shot!
ReplyDeleteWater droplets are a pretty sight aren't they? :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing capture of the water droplets on the caterpillar. I love to see the sparkles in the tiny drops of water, it is almost like looking at another world. Great photos Rainfield.
ReplyDeleteIt scurries away with its many tiny feet to escape the pounding droplets like boulders onto its back.
ReplyDeleteAmazing capture of the water droplets on the caterpillar. Indeed you have sharp eyes Rainfield.
ReplyDeleteThe attention you pay to details is amazing! Thank you for letting us borrow your eyes!
ReplyDeleteI can remember the kindergarten teacher teaching my son this song, "Caterpillar coughing, ker-ker-ker..." Does he need to wait for the sun to dry him up or will he just shake off the water himself, just like the doggie?
ReplyDeleteVanillaSeven:
ReplyDelete"he ain't heavy, he is my brother"
I do not know why I am thinking of this.
eng:
I am feeling itchy now too...
but this will not stop me from taking its picture again there is any out there.
Pacey:
Yes, Madam!! But tell me please where can I buy this mini parachute.
IHSAN KHAIRIR:
You have to tell me when you have successfully taken some of them, ok?
Sharkbytes:
Too many standing up on the leaf means nothing will be seen after a wind blow.
fufu:
Then wait to see how you will look like when you fly a parachute.
Will you look like a caterpillar?
wenn:
Thank you.
Mei Teng/SquirrelQueen:
The water droplets will reflect everything they see, like a crystal, if I have a macro lens.
AVCr8teur:
You mean the lateral force is greater than the force of gravity if the caterpillar moves fast enough. I see.
Misalyn/jeannette stgermain; i sall ensure that you will have my eyes, always.
Autumn Belle:
It shakes like John Travolta. But then I wonder how it manages to synchronise its legs.
Great stuff. I never considered water drops on insects before.
