“Keep up your faith to go high and fly, even after so many pains and sorrow. You can turn from a caterpillar to a butterfly. Life gives you a second change: a call to grow.”
― Ana Claudia Antunes

This was one of a number feeding on a ceanosis in a neighbour's garden. The adult male of the species is easily recognisable by their rich reddish brown forewings. The females are virtually wingless and are unable to fly and remain close to the papal cocoon. They are found throughout Europe, temperate Asia, Siberia and the USA. As with most hairy caterpillars, the bristles are connected to venomous glands and function as a defensive barrier to would-be predators and cause irritation to the skin. They feed on the foliage of various trees and shrubs.
Tent caterpillars are moderately sized caterpillars, or moth larvae, belonging to the genus Malacosoma in the family Lasiocampidae. Twenty-six species have been described, six of which occur in North America and the rest in Eurasia. Some species are considered to have subspecies as well. They are often considered pests due to their habit of defoliating trees. They are among the most social of all caterpillars and exhibit many noteworthy behaviors.
Tent caterpillars are readily recognized because they are social, colorful, diurnal and build conspicuous silk tents in the branches of host trees. Some species, such as the eastern tent caterpillar, Malacosoma americanum, and caterpillars of the small eggar moth, Eriogaster lanestris, build a single large tent which is typically occupied through the whole of the larval stage, while others build a series of small tents that are sequentially abandoned. Whereas tent caterpillars make their tents in the nodes and branches of a tree's limbs, fall webworms enclose leaves and small branches at the ends of the limbs. [from Wiki]
Early stage Drinker Moth caterpillar.Fully grown caterpillars are up to 7cm in length. They are dark grey with golden speckling and have brown hair tufts along the body.
The only creature (that we can catch), so far, that I have had to say no to Evan holding due to the potential rash or irritation it can cause.
I think it's possibly a Brown Tail Caterpillar but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Standhisround and Jeff have probably correctly identified him as a Knot Grass Caterpillar
Caterpillar 5bis
Kunstenaar: Wim Delvoye
Het exemplaar dat er nu te zien is, is niet het originele exemplaar die er in 2003 stond, tijdens Beaufort01. Het originele werk verhuisde datzelfde jaar nog naar Ground Zero in New York. Dit werk is opmerkelijk groter en monumentaler en het heeft ook geen attributen naast zich. De oorspronkelijke versie had een schop met signaleringshekken en een hoop (gotische) aarde naast zich. Het huidige werk staat er sinds 2004. Het wordt gekenmerkt door een vreemde spanning veroorzaakt door het samenbrengen van twee werelden die niets met elkaar gemeen hebben, namelijk de moderne tijden gesymboliseerd door de rupsbandtractor en de middeleeuwse wereld opgeroepen door de decoratiepatronen van een gotische kerk.
