Prominent moth caterpillar (Lochmaeus sp.)

Larose Forest

It was a bit slow at the moth lights the other night in the forest, so i wandered down some trails looking for caterpillars and found quite a few including five of this genus, Lochmaeus, each one slightly different from the other.

Fantastic Christine.here it is again clearly visible that the camouflage colors are indeed useful, especially against the dark background, very well portrayed BV

Great camouflage except when it looks so good in your photo.

Beautiful. Love how the black background makes the caterpillar stick out. V.

During your wanderings did you meet any caterpillars smoking a hookah?
