Faaabulous in Red Shoes - _TNY_5455
I found this caterpillar hiding on the underside of a leaf in the Mjällådalen nature reserve and when turning the leaf, it bent its head back like this.
The spacies has a very cool-sounding English name - this is a coxcomb prominent (Ptilodon capucina) and will eventually turn into a fuzzy brown and white moth.
Other noteworthy features are the red feet and the little splashes of red along the yellow side stripe.
