I was ambling through the garden with my camera yesterday afternoon, when I spotted this beautiful chap munching his way along the cotoneaster:
Magnificent, no?
He looks a lot more hairy and has a far more striking colourscheme than the hairy caterpillar Tuffy and I spotted two weeks ago. I wonder what kind of butterfly he’s going to pupate into? Do you know?
wow.. that’s interesting
Hi Maplesyrup – welcome to my blog and thank you for leaving a comment!
I know, I thought it’s a really peculiar creature, and definitely not one to try picking up, cos its ‘hairs’ are probably needlesharp and poisonous! :-}
What a cool looking caterpillar! It’s so furry that any bird that dared eat it would probably cough up a hairball afterwards
Hehehehe!!! I just visualised what that would look like…
Giggle…
What funny and joyful items! Regg your writing is inspirational!
It’s sooo nice to see you on my blog again, Bobz!
