Hanging J View 2

This is a side view were you can see both antennae in erect positions. The bright white spot of light is the silk button. The haziness along the surface of the habitat is due to silk being laid down all over there while the caterpillar was seeking its desired spot. Which is never a good spot for me to get photos. The silk helps obscure the view.
