Description

Two monarch caterpillars featuring prominent black, white, and yellow striped patterns cling to a slender green leaf stem. The macro photograph captures sharp detail along the insect bodies and surrounding foliage, shot with a shallow depth of field that softens the background. Natural ambient light illuminates the scene, highlighting the organic textures of the plant and insects. The composition centres on the vertical stalk where the caterpillars feed. Photographed by Pat Martin in Paris.
