This guy is pretty conspicuous...I hope he doesn't end up as someone's dinner..

A really beautiful shot. I almost think the caterpillar is more attractive than the moth which is also a most fascinating creature. Amazing transformation.

No camouflage, at least not in your so-clear photo.

Such a lovely delicate shade of pastel green with spots. And the moth is very dapper and unique!
