Crowned slug moth caterpillar (Isa textula), #4681

Reveler Conservation Area

I have taken scores of photos of these small guys (about 1/2 inch). I find them so exquisitely beautiful, like spun glass ornaments. I am still trying for a photo that shows them off well. The head by the way, is at the top under those reddish 'horns'.

Prettier than the regular caterpillars. I like the lacy edges. Nice macro work. V

Once again, this isn't like any caterpillar I have ever seen! Very pretty specimen, and well captured by you. V.

I wonder where you keep finding this wonderful and sometimes strange caterpillars.
