| | | Please could anybody identify this Larvae
I have found two larvae? in a garden in Manchester.
They are mostly green in colour, 3inch long.
With a spike at one end.
With marking that look like eyes, running the length of its body.
I have a photo on my computer but it is 885k big.
How could I shrink it to fit on this site.
thanks for any help

It will probably be a Hawk Moth caterpillar, dunno which one without photo & I have no idea how to do that. Would like to know myself as I have a pic 2560x1920, 802kb. |

Use a program such as Picasa - a free Google program downloadable off the net

Welcome to WAB Tony. If you've got any kind of photo editing software on your computer, you should have an option to re-size an image. Simply re-size to 800x600 pixels and save as jpeg, and you'll be just right for here. Hope to see it soon! |

If you don't have a photo editing programme then download IrfanView from the internet - free, small, easy - doesn't have all the frills of the microsoft and other programmes but who needs them!
Rather than simply re-sizing the photograph - *first* crop any spare space from around the specimen, then resize - that way you get a lot of detail of the specimen ...
Good luck, Paul
PS: I don't have shares in Irfan - it's freeware. Quote: |

Thanks everyone, Ihave added a photo to the Gallery - un-identified section.
Use green eyed larvae in the search and you can view it.
I,m trying to add it to this section. |
