Comment: An extreme macro portrait of a garden tiger moth Arctia caja caterpillar taken with two lenses MC Jupiter-37A 135mm f/3,5, which was made in 1985, and Zenitar-M 50mm f/1,7, made in 1982, as one lens. This was shot on SONY Alpha NEX-6. This photo is a part of a project "Microcosmic portraits of the little earthlings". The purpose of this project is to show usual insects from unusual angles. That is why the photo of the insect was taken within the territory of the South Urals, where it would seem there are no exotic, bright species such as, for example, in Southeast Asia or Africa.
