Stinging Nettle Slug Caterpillar (Cup Moth, Setora sp., Limacodidae)
When not threatened, the Setora Limacodid caterpillars keep their battery of stinging spines tucked neatly away like the bristles of a wet calligraphy brush.
The slightest disturbance (even as little as a gentle touch of the leaf it is on) galvanises the caterpillar into alert mode and the unfurling of it's stinging spines.

Stinging Nettle Slug Caterpillar (Cup Moth, Limacodidae) "Red Devil"
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 or just slug 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 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.
Globally, the connection between adult cup moths and their caterpillars remains sketchy. Although many, and increasingly more, of the moths are being identified, their life cycles have not been studied or recorded. This is particularly apparent regionally. As fascinating as these caterpillars are, few can be linked to their night-flying mature forms. Hence, should you be browsing my Flickr set of Limacodid Caterpillars, the majority are generically named and only tentatively identified.

En 2011, à l'occasion du 65e anniversaire de la Force Aérienne, la patrouille des Diables Rouges est réactivée sur quatre Siai SF.260M Marchetti. Cette formation se substitue ainsi à celle des Hardship Red, créée deux ans plus tôt.Escadrille des Red devils.
Ce sont des virtuoses. Aux commandes, ils fendent l’air, glissent et s’élancent dans les airs. Ils enchaînent les manœuvres, les vrilles, les loopings et les tonneaux. Leur show se regarde comme une danse, c’est un ballet.
A failed chute nearly caused disaster for the world renowned Red Devils Parachute team at Whitehaven Festival Air Display. Fortunately, cool thinking and skill meant that the pair landed safely in the deep water of Queen's dock which had been designated an emergency landing zone. A few metres either way and they would have hit the boats or a nearby fun fair.
Panamanian city bus... they will be doing away with these Diablo rojos (red devils)
President MartÃn Torrijos Announced on May 14th that he will be freeing the city of the infamous and dangerous Diablo Rojos, recycled school buses painted in bight colors, and the state will take over all public transportation.
A LEGO build using (mostly) trans-brick.
I had built a version of the right panel a few years back, but let it go at an art show. I built the left panel a few months ago as a "freehand" attempt to recapture the first one.
Then I just used a photo of the right panel to rebuild it (with some variations)
The center panel was pretty much just a whim. Could probably stand a re-work.
Hinges took a bit, not 100% happy with them either. But the work is a functional display now.
