Thank you ever so much Jill for the awesome review. I use a iPhone 6...without it being a macro lens I take 10 shots and if lucky I get a good one. I live in the City. The concrete jungle gives me few opportunities for wildlife. So my lens turned to bugs which there are many. This was my first for a up close shot of a tomato worm. This little guy was eating Carolina Reaper peppers which are a thousand degrees hotter tha jalapeņos. I was so surprised. Thank you ever so much. You too should look closely at bugs. They are fascinating. Blessings Always, ~Cindy Sue~

How awesome!!! and You are so very welcome! Funny I do use my iphone 6S plus to do close up shots of flowers and some bugs.... I don't generally go looking for insects but if they are near, I'll try my hand at it. I just not very steady. But this is an awesome shot! Funny how he was eating the hot peppers lol.... he must have a taste for them! hahahaha

When I was a little girl, I was terrified of the tomato worms ! This is well photographed with good focus, the image is clear to view. Nice detail in this worm , well composed with the worm on the green plant. This is a good entry for the contest! Well presented! Good luck to you!
