The Half-wing moth caterpillar(Phigalia titea) # 6658

This attractive caterpillar in the Geometridae, turns into a rather dull-coloured moth with cryptic markings that vary a lot, but still allow the moth to blend in well on tree trunks. This caterpillar was on a hazelnut shrub in a forested area.

Great macro, I can see every hair on the body. Looks like a twig with that bark like skin. V
