CATERPILLARS

Another nasty stinging caterpillar, Blue-striped Nettle Caterpillar, ヒロヘリアオイラガ



With such a sweet facial expression on its head





 What would this caterpillar be? Will it turn out in a moth? Probably. Who can tell me?



Larve of Impatiens Hawkmoth, セスジススメ幼虫
The first 2 photos are the same caterpillar, taken with different cameras. First Nikon 105mm macro, next my smartphone, Galaxy 10. Not bad for a phone shot!







As every year, one day the forest was full of these hairy buggers There are so many, you can hear them eating, crawling, moving around. Larvae from the Phalera flavescens moth (Monkuroshachihoko) モンクロシャチホコ幼虫 







The next one was found at a different location on a rainy day. Also from the Phalera flavescens moth (Monkuroshachihoko) モンクロシャチホコ幼虫 ?
