It has been a while. Since I am seeking help from this forum elsewhere, I thought I would give a little back. Thanks everyone.
This Weekend at Stafford Forge

You have outdone yourself.If you'd like to know what type of caterpillars they are (do you know?) You or I could submit the pics to Bug Guide webstite and the professionals there would ID them.They usually have an ID within hours of posting.

were the caterpillars taken in the Barrens?
what time of year and where? I have been going through the site but it is huge.With date and place I can use the filters to weed out the caterpillars myself hopefully.

Thanks everyone. Yes, I have the ID to most things on my flickr page. These were taken this summer in Warren Grove and Stafford Forge. The first one is a Black Swallowtail Papilio and the second (with the red head) is Datana Major: Larvae.
The pic of "Old Barney" outshining the waning moon is Awesome! How was the "Sky-Vortex" shot done? That's pretty cool.

I thought the first one was a black swallowtail.but as you can see at this link your caterpillar and theirs are somewhat different.Wasn't sure I had the right species.Must be a geographical variation.this one taken in SC

Really good stuff. I always like the uniqueness of your photos.
PS: I just saw your photo of the American Avocet today. That is such a great shot with the flowers in the background and his stately walk. Well done.

Wow, some great photos here. I wish I could afford a nice lens to take some close-up shots like this. I can take some OK shots with my older Canon Rebel, but the lens just barely passes. I certainly can't do good shots of insects. I love those!
All my macro shots are taken with a Canon SD400 point and shoot. You only need a steady hand and patience.
Some of those landscape photos are just astonishingly beautiful. Fantastic work. People think New Jersey begins and ends on the NJ Turnpike, but look at that beauty. Very nice.
Some of these are from Tuckerton, Forked River and Ocean Gate as well as Stafford Forge. Enjoy. The turtle is a mirror effect.
Thank you . . . I needed this respite. The cranberries, oddly enough, struck a chord -- a cool shot. Cannot wait to come back! Next month: LINES ON THE PINES!
