What lens did you use?

Yes, this is one of the stinging caterpillars.larkspur said:This thing stung me when I got too close with the camera. It was munching on my blueberry bush.
Best to knock it off into a solution of soapy or salt water - or find a braconid wasp to lay eggs on it.In Florida, the main stinging caterpillars are the io moth (Automeris io (Fabricius), Saturniidae), the saddleback caterpillar (Acharia stimulea (Clemens) [formerly in Sibine], Limacodidae), and the puss caterpillar (Megalopyge opercularis (J.E. Smith), Megalopygidae) (Biery 1977, Zak 1986). All species of Limacodidae and Megalopygidae appear to have urticating larvae.

Careful! We don't want any photo contest casualties here. That is a really cool caterpillar though. I've never seen anything like it!larkspur said:This thing stung me when I got too close with the camera. It was munching on my blueberry bush.

Did Ohio get a bulk discount on that architecture (or from that architect)? We had a building at Cincinnati that was very similar in appearance in the atrium, and another that was under construction when I left that will also be similar (it's adjacent to the first building, so I figured it was all part of the same architectural plan as part of the overall goal of doing away with the "stick any kind of building anywhere there's space for it" prior look of the campus...when I first got there, it was hard to tell where the city ended and the campus began because it was all the same mish-mash of non-descript buildings). It feels nice to work in a building with a big, modern atrium, but then every time I hear complaints that there's not enough space to recruit in someone new, all I can do is look at that soaring atrium and think "wasted space...that could have been more labs and offices."Gokul43201 said:This picture of my department is more of an advertisement than a contest entry!
Fortunately for us, there's neither the money to build more labs/offices nor the money to hire people to occupy them!Moonbear said:It feels nice to work in a building with a big, modern atrium, but then every time I hear complaints that there's not enough space to recruit in someone new, all I can do is look at that soaring atrium and think "wasted space...that could have been more labs and offices."

Now that's a picture that only a physicist (maybe a particle physicist) could love.ZapperZ said:OK, so this picture is lame and can't compete with some of those already submitted, but what the hey...
A is for the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator, which you will get to see up close and personal if you come to our Oct. 7th Open House. :)

Same with mine, unless I can get out the aviation buff vote.ZapperZ said:Which is why I know that there's a snowball chance in hell that I'd even get enough votes to make it in the final. :)
Zz.
I already used A is for Autumn!Janus said:Same with mine, unless I can get out the aviation buff vote.
It's not the photo I wanted to submit, but the other was taken BDC (Before Digital Camera), and the scanner's on the fritz. It was a nice shot of the leaves changing color at our local Japanese Garden. (A is for Autumn). But alas, it was not to be.
