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

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

An awesome little caterpillar that my son found for me at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.

This colorful Caterpillar will turn into a beautiful swallowtail butterfly. (It is so beautiful in my eyes as it is right now...:) )

I didn't see this hidden below the flower buds 'till I zoomed in. :-))

A caterpillar in my garden

Swallowtail

The fuzzy caterpillar

curled up on a leaf.

Spun her little chrysalis

and then fell fast asleep.

While she was sleeping,

she dreamed that she could fly.

And later when she woke up,

she was a butterfly.

I have no idea what this fuzzy beauty is called, he was one of those fun surprises I found while taking close up shots of fall leaves.

Hope you are all doing well! I'll try and get by and make comments this week. Thanks for all your comments and support.

Thanks for views, comments and faves. Very much appriciated

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

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.

Caterpillar of the Pale Tussock Moth (Calliteara pudibunda)

I wouldn't touch it.

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.

The only edible part of the Everlasting is the center because the petals are paper like.

This caterpillar found a nice daisy to snack on.
