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.
Not Halloween, although the themes and time-of-year are similar. A fun local festival with good food, music and some thrills for the kids!
When not feeling threatened and when not active, the stinging nettle caterpillars lower their armoury similar to closing the frame of an umbrella to resemble a wet Chinese calligraphy brush.

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 will be included as tags.
