Cup Moth larvae are often highly ornamented and brightly colored. Two main types can be distinguished: larvae armed with rows of protuberances bearing stinging spines called nettle caterpillars, or non-spined forms where the surface of the larvae may by completely smooth, called gelatine caterpillars. The larvae of this family bear no prolegs on their abdominal segments. The larva attaches itself to the substrate by means of an adhesive ventral surface. The movement is like a slug hence their generic name.
A stinging slug caterpillar (like this one) generally bears warning colouration and stinging hairs. These hairs can inject a venom from poison sacs carried at their base that are used as defensive weapons. Reactions can range from a mild itching to a very painful sting.

You will notice I have given each individual a descriptive superhero-style name in the title of the image. The Setora genus have several colour variations - "Red Devil", "Yellow Devil" and "Green Devil". This is for my own reference mainly because practically none of these caterpillars are identified (maybe even ever formally) and this will allow me to group the growing number of images I have into their like-kinds including the various instars I have captured. The names are be included as tags.

Red Devils, Panama City, Panama, April 2025. These are the infamous Diablos Rojos which Panama is trying to eliminate. Repurposed North American school buses, and quite iconic. They got their name from being painted red at the front. Albrook bus station echoes with the touts trying to tempt you to board one.

Coachwork by Vignale
Design by Michelotti
Chassis n° 106-000072
One-off
An extremely unique and distinctive design by Giovanni Michelotti, built by Vignale and based on the famous Fiat 8V. Michelotti demonstrated his creativity and inventiveness with this Démon Rouge (red devil) at the Turin motor show in 1953.
The semi-circular, vertical rear window under the extended roofline is one of the most striking details. It was an aerodynamic trick intended to keep the rear window clean and dry during heavy rainfall. Something similar would later be applied to the Ford Anglia and the Citroën Ami. The roof itself is largely made of Plexiglas, to give the impression of an open car. The door handles are ingeniously incorporated into the rear pillars. There are no bumpers and the headlights are framed by the grille.
In 1955 the design won the first prize in the ‘Coppa Campione d’Italia’ Concours d’Elégance. Nearly fifty years later, in 2004, the car won the ‘Best of Show’ prize at the Concours d’Elégance at palace Het Loo in Apeldoorn.
The Fiat 8V – ‘Otto Vu’ in Italian – is the only eight-cylinder built by Fiat. Between 1952 and 1954 exactly 114 8Vs were built, some with special Ghia and Vignale coachwork.

In the early eighties Netherlands Railways replaced the red diesel emu's from the early fifties (nicknamed "Blue Angels" after the original color) with shiny new diesel hydraulic emu's. DE2 90 is at Groningen, ready for the next run to the north on August 6, 1982.
