Found on an elm tree, pretty much the only tree species this caterpillar goes for.

Quelle mimétisme, il fallait la trouver. C’est excellent.

Not a lot of Elms left...

Sort of looks like a leaf! Well spotted and captured. V.

Talk about something that is well camouflaged. Superb close up, Christine. I'm not sure I would have ever spotted it. ~BV~
