I had just plucked an enormous sweet-smelling Southern magnolia flower to study its pollen, when I spotted an inchworm within the flower. What a fascinating mode of locomotion. This larva is from the Geometer moth family. Geometers appear to measure the earth and hence their name.

I put he larva under the foldscope with the dorsal surface facing the viewer. Although it isnt very transparent, one can clearly  see a gut within. Other  anatomical features that are visible on the dorsal side include the spiracles through which they breathe, setae, the anal prolegs and the clear segmentation. Next time I should remember to foldscope the ventral region first and also the sides.
