On My 67th Birthday The Garden/Temple Gifted Me A New Something To Honor The Beauty Found In The Universe

There is just the possibility that this wee beasty is a caterpillar

The Universe is an amazing place. From the largest galaxies to the smallest bugs and insect in our garden/temple there is such amazing beauty. (For the record this fellow is a little less than four mm long.)

I spotted him this morning, with that beard it's a 'He' until I'm proven wrong! I thought it was a spider in a tiny web. Once I took the shot and got back to the large monitor I realized that it was a bug of sorts having a really bad hair day. I am a betting man and I believe that he is some sort of caterpillar.

I'm including the uncropped original so you can see how I was so easily taken in . As always, shot in our garden/temple somewhere in the Philippines.

From more than a foot or so away all my old eyes saw was a web with a tiny spider at the center.

From a foot or more away it looks just like a tiny spiders web
