Looper moth caterpillar (Nepytia sp.)

Larose Forest

Unfortunately, this looper decided to pose against a similar coloured background on a dead cedar branch. When I tried to move it, it wriggled free and dropped to the ground not to be found again! Hoping to get a better photo one day to replace this which is, so far, the only shot for this genus that I have.

Actually I think that is an incredible background for it. i like how it kind of blends in but has nice contrasts too. ~BV~

les couleurs de cette chenille se confondent dans son environnement.

C’est superbe à regarder.
