Wrinkled Blue!

A Drinker Moth (Euthrix potatoria) caterpillar! This common moth is named after the caterpillar's supposed habit of drinking dew from the coarse grasses on which it feeds. I've posted loads of shots of these before, so apologies for yet another! I just loved the detail of this one's wrinkly blue body - hence the title!
