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.

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

Yellow-tail (Euproctis similis)

This is the larvae of a Tussock Moth, adults and larvae both have dangerous barbed hairs and should not be handled and can be painful.

The name Yellow-tail comes from the slight yellow smudge to the wings of the male adult moth.

Photographed last September 2017.

Adding this one to the top of the list of crazy caterpillars that I have found. Photographed at Conowingo Dam in Maryland.

Thanks for views, comments and faves. Very much appriciated

I finally found one! Of course he was out in the open, in plain sight so it would have been hard Not to see him. He was traveling along a rusty hand rail at the speed of light and I had to keep backing up to get the shot. :) I don't know what kind he is, but he was very hairy..... probably hasn't been able to see his hair dresser because of the covid thing. I don't know. ;) I was at an aqueduct just north of Paw Paw West Virginia.

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 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.

Today we have made caterpillars with buttons because it's raining and we couldn't go into the garden to find any real caterpillars. We're making snails out of buttons later too.
