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.

Astoņas kaujas lidmašīnas “A-10” no Mičiganas Gaisa spēku Nacionālās Gvardes 107.iznīcinātāju eskadriļas sniedz atbalstu militārajās mācībās “Saber Strike 2018”.
Lidmašīnas mācību laikā bāzējas Gaisa spēku aviācijas bāzē Lielvārdē, no kurienes ik dienas lido uz mācību vietām visās trijās Baltijas valstīs. Ikdienā lidmašīnas bāzējas Selfidžas Gaisa spēku bāzē Mičiganas pavalstī.
Vienai no lidmašīnām - 81-0994/MI – ir unikāls krāsojums, pieminot 1944.gada 6.jūnijā Francijas piekrastē Normandijā izcelto amerikāņu un angļu armijas desantu, kurā atbalstu sniedza arī šī vienība.

Eight A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft from the 107th Fighter Squadron “Red Devils” of the 127th Fighter Wing at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Michigan, participate in international military exercise “Saber Strike 2018” in the Baltic States.
A-10 Thunderbolt are based in Latvian Air Force Aviation Base in Lielvarde, Latvia, from where they fly to support the exercise in all three Baltic States.
One of the aircraft is a “unique” special-colored A-10C. It is painted with a special livery that commemorates the 100th Anniversary of the Red Devils of the 107th Fighter Squadron, that is inspired to the P-51 (F-6A) of the 107th TRS, that flew the Mustang over Normandy during WWII.
“Saber Strike 18 is the eighth iteration of the long-standing U.S. Army Europe-led cooperative training exercise designed to enhance interoperability among allies and regional partners. This year's exercise takes place from June 3-15 in the Baltic States and Poland.

'pour leurs frères les coureurs' >>> 'for their brothers the riders'
Laroche & Pouchois made wooden rims and tubular (tubeless) bicycle tyres that had to be glued onto the wooden rims.
gotta love the gearing on that bike. And I thought riding my 48x14 at the track made me a tough guy.
