Purple-lined sallow moth caterpillar (Pyrrhia exprimens), #11064

Gatineau

What better way to start off summer than with a good walk along a rural trail and finding a huge variety of wildlife, including so many fascinating insects!

This pretty little caterpillar apparently feeds on plants in the polygonum family although this one was found on a wild raspberry leaf (Rubus).

This is a fascinating one that I have never seen or heard of before. Fabulous picture of it grazing on the leave while the rest of the leaf falls out of focus. ~BV~

Cette chenille est vraiment belle avec sa ligne orange et ses point noirs. Vous l'avez photographié avec beaucoup de talent.
