Silhouette Caterpillar Silk Gland Reflected Light in at the edge of a reed bed near Puebla

Silhouette Caterpillar Silk Gland Reflected Light

by Ronnie Potter

Low dust hangs thick above damp ground under bright early afternoon light. A caterpillar sits at the edge of a reed bed, its segmented body forming a dark silhouette against the haze. Reflected light from nearby water brightens the background, highlighting the fine, translucent silk thread emerging from the insect's rear. The thread stretches taut across the frame, glistening as it catches the glare. Tiny water droplets rest on the reed tips nearby, mirroring the humid rainy season air. The silk ends abruptly against a blurred green stalk.
