Here's an attractive Brown Hooded Owlet Moth caterpillar my wife found today. Unfortunately, I can see two parasitic wasp eggs on it, so its future is not a pleasant one.

Great shot of this showy caterpillar, but sad to hear about its unpleasant future.

It's such a pretty one...sad that t's not going to reach its aim. Lovely and sharp image. V

A striking close-up of this beautifully patterned caterpillar with its vivid red, yellow and white markings. Sadly, knowing that two parasitic wasp eggs are attached adds a poignant dimension — a vivid reminder that nature can be both beautiful and unforgiving.....V

The fate of so many caterpillars. But a fine photo of a colourful species nevertheless.
