There is a theory among my family members that I can spot a mosquito at thirty paces when I have a camera in my hand. But if I'm looking for something at Casa Authorblog, I am pretty much useless.
Like I said, it's only a theory. I ain't buying into the debate.
But here's one sight I definitely did not spot. We were at a park in Sydney during the Easter break when one of the Authorbloglets noticed this caterpillar camouflaged on a branch. As I studied the best angle to capture the view, the caterpillar also decided it would be best to bend over backwards to check me out.
Or maybe he was just completing his early-morning fitness regimen. Bendin'. Stretchin'. Surveyin' the scene.
Check out the rules at Camera Critters or go to Misty Dawn.

What a delight! I love spotting little treasures like this! You got fantastic shot of it too!
David, thank you for visiting my blog and for leaving behind such kind words. I'm off to check yours out now!
Cool shot - it would be neat to know if that distinctive mark is preserved someplace on the adult butterfly's body or wings.
I like the title as well. Very cool pic and cool title.
is he or she a gynmnast so adept at back arching haha Sandy

That photo made me do a double take, he really blends in. What a great shot!

Very delightful pix!! Reminds us that we are not alone!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, David. I will always believe that, coming from you ... it's a comment ... times two.
Taking time out at the branch office ...indeed! Love those critters that sneak up on you!
You know, I wouldn't have spotted it if you hadn't said! Very good camorphlage, isn't it?

HEEEEEY!!!! Thanks for coming over to visit! It threw me off when I got here to see that it's tomorrow where you are! I'm gonna add you to my reader and keep up with you.
That picture is freakin' awesome, by the way. Really.
What a GREAT action shot :-) That 'piller was probably trying to get a closer look at the celebrity paparotzzi...Cheers to you and the authorbloggettes ~Janine
Oh, he's great! He's pretending to be a leaf, isn't he?
Beautiful picture!
Well, maybe your relatives are right? This caterpillar is dressed up like a cameleon!
Very eye catching.

I aint takin noh interview, this is my play place of McDonalds, LOL
Isn't that the sweetest serendipity! Wonderful photo!
I had a long-leggedy millipede on the back of my dish-sponge this morning at 5 a.m. and I'm afraid I wasn't quite as welcoming.

What a great shot!
Thanks for your kind comment on my site. I am not saying which people in my family are the nuts but be sure there are some big ones.
I bought a new wireless router and am using Firefox and things seem to be humming along nicely.
Thanks again and don't be a stranger.
What a wonderful capture! I almost didn't see it at first.
My post is here: Carletta’s Captures.
You said it's a theory - couldn't help notice my word verification is 'thery' :)
How I love spotting the small stuff and finding some surprise magic in them! This is a wonderful shot of just that! Perfect bit of glowy light peeping through too!
Cool shot! I,too,can notice the minutest detail,(Or would that make a good photo?),but not the big stuff.
What a cute little bugger!
Not the kind of view you see everyday. Sometimes it is the little things that we miss. And in reality, they are the best.
Great capture, thanks to a blogget.
Inside the main 'character' I can see a frightened little face with startled pigtails! Am I crazy? Don't answer that!
definitely camoflauged! i love it.
Bugs. Why'd it have to be bugs.
Just kidding. I love bugs.
Frogs and toads, very different story.
So glad to have discovered your blog. I need to broaden my blogging horizons.
Is it true frogs and toads can be as big as 6 pounds or more down under?
Such a cute capture! He seems to be checking you out too!
Very cool shot. You always hit the mother lode of photo subjects....
WOW...nice shot !!!
It's also well hidden ... looked like an od shaped leaf at first..
Hello teeny green critter.
A green Critter out for Easter dinner. Cute
