Minor levels, saturation, healing brush, and sharpened in PSE4.

Great macro, Rick! In the thumbnail, it looks like he's lying on his back with his legs up in the air! I didn't know those were horns! Wonderful colour, clarity and detail! :) #6415865

Rick,
wonderful close up, I found a caterpillar similar this summer. Of course I had to take it home and photograph is. I'm attaching the picture for you to look at.
