Caterpillars /ˈkætərˌpɪlər/ are the larval stagee of members of the order Lepidoptera (the insect order comprising butterflies and moths).
“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.”

Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment, much appreciated!💞
I always go around when it's catterpillar time and collect them up. They get thrown over the fence, it's ok we dont have neighbours at the back.

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS AND FAVS........TAKE A LOOK AT MY PHOTOSTREAM, FOR GENERAL PHOTOS OF NATURE AND WILDLIFE
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.
The Spanish moth, Xanthopastis timais (Cramer), is unmistakable for any other moth in Florida. The larvae are likewise very colorful, and have been called convict caterpillars. The larvae are occasional pests of lilies, mainly in Amaryllidaceae.
Thank you my friends for popping by.
I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a Beautiful Sunday
Take care and stay safe everyone
Thank you

Nuthatch - Sitta europaea
The Eurasian nuthatch or wood nuthatch (Sitta europaea) is a small passerine bird found throughout temperate Asia and in Europe, where its name is the nuthatch. Like other nuthatches, it is a short-tailed bird with a long bill, blue-grey upperparts and a black eye-stripe. It is a vocal bird with a repeated loud dwip call. There are more than 20 subspecies in three main groups; birds in the west of the range have orange-buff underparts and a white throat, those in Russia have whitish underparts, and those in the Far East have a similar appearance to European birds, but lack the white throat.
The preferred habitat is mature deciduous or mixed woodland with large, old trees, preferably oak. Pairs hold permanent territories, and nest in tree holes, usually old woodpecker nests, but sometimes natural cavities. If the entrance to the hole is too large, the female plasters it with mud to reduce its size, and often coats the inside of the cavity too. The 6–9 red-speckled white eggs are laid on a deep base of pine or other wood chips.
The Eurasian nuthatch eats mainly insects, particularly caterpillars and beetles, although in autumn and winter its diet is supplemented with nuts and seeds. The young are fed mainly on insects, with some seeds, food items mainly being found on tree trunks and large branches. The nuthatch can forage when descending trees head first, as well as when climbing. It readily visits bird tables, eating fatty man-made food items as well as seeds. It is an inveterate hoarder, storing food year-round. Its main natural predator is the Eurasian sparrowhawk.
It breeds throughout England and Wales and has recently began to breed in southern Scotland. It is a resident, with birds seldom travelling far from the woods where they hatch.

I spotted this Viceroy caterpillar in a tree yesterday while 3 of us were out hunting clubtails again. Hadn't seen a Viceroy cat in awhile. Not sure of the tree - they use several as their host plants. The adult Viceroys spend most of their time in the open wetlands.
>> Viceroy caterpillar, yesterday at the wetlands - N. Georgia
See recent shot of a Viceroy - similar to a Monarch in appearance.
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
Hairy caterpillars.
The whole family stays together when first hatched, but there are too many to get a decent photo.
I brought this family home a few days ago, and waited until they split up onto different leaves to get a better picture.

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.
