Measuring, Pt. 2 - _TNY_6201

This one, climbing into focus is a mottled umber (Erannis defoliaria) caterpillar moving in the characteristic way that geometrid moth caterpillars do. In Swedish, geometrid moths are known as "mätare" which means "measurer" because the caterpillars kind of look like they are measuring out steps.
