On ragwort flowers

Close up of a tiny Monarch caterpillar underneath a Milkweed leaf. These caterpillars are everywhere, beautiful butterflies soon!

Caterpillar

I spotted this one crawling along a Daisy stem.

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.

Broadwater Warren RSPB, Kent.

Normally found in their hundreds munching away on yellow-flowered ragwort, and their bold black-and-gold stripes make them easy to identify.

This year although there were hundreds of Ragwort plants only a few had caterpillars.

THANK YOU for your visits, comments and favorites

Great camouflage...it looks like one of the limbs of the St John's Wort.

Like a caterpillar meandering about, this cloud appeared to crawl along the tree tops while changing colours.

The Poplar Hawk Moth Larvae are getting quite big now :)

At 35mm, this striking Grey Dagger moth caterpillar is almost full grown and will soon pupate within a cocoon for overwintering. Adults fly during June and July and are attracted to light and sugar. They are widespread and fairly common over much of England and Wales.

This Noctuidae larva has a distinctive yellow dorsal stripe and tall fleshy hump on the fourth segment. It was found feeding on a shrub in a neighbour's garden.

Peacock butterfly caterpillar

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.

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 close up. Even thought they move so slowly, it's almost to fast if you are a newbee to macro.

I see Swallow Tails in the area, but never in the garden feeding. But I bought the plants anyway, in the hopes they would use them.I thought at least maybe the rabbit will much on it. The yesterday I found 9 caterpillars!

I wouldn't touch it.

Caterpillar days are just a memory...

The color reminds me that autumn is on the way, although I can't tell it today - temperature in the upper 80's.

The outskirts of the remnants of hurricane Ike are coming through here - continous 30mph winds with frequent gusts over 50mph. Must have been fierce when it first came ashore.

The most unusual caterpillar Ive ever seen!
