Color Explosion - _TNY_2216

I originally thought this spectacular larvae to be a male vapourer (Orgyia antiqua), happily munching away at a poor defensless flower at Storsjö Camping, in Skog, Ångermanland.

 

It turns out, however, that it in fact is another Noctudiae moth, the Acronicta cinerea.
