A very unusual photograph, the colours are interesting and there is so much detail.

Description
Not a caterpillar...but a larva of the Elm Sawfly. This variety is North America's largest....with a gorgeous blue stripe running down the back with small matching blue dots along both sides of it's body.
The adult will be a blackish/purple creature, often mistaken as wasps or even bees.
Although I'm not a sawfly fan, these larva are just amazing in their specteral beauty.
This one is curled up on the underside of a Hexigonal-pored Polypore fungus.

Nothing like waking up to see over 1000 clicks on an image. A huge thrill to get a DD on this image. Thank you so much for viewing and enjoying this image...even with the watermark on it!
Please know that there is NO way that I can thank each one of you individually for you're 'fav' on this image...but know that each and every one is appreciated!
