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

Zebrarups

Corupá - Brazil.

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.

Emperor caterpillar in my garden

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.

This was one of the strangest caterpillars I've ever seen. It was carrying a huge cocoon like sac on it's back. I believe it is eating an aphid in this photo. Photographed at Conowingo

Thanks for views, comments and faves. Very much appriciated

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 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.

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!
