Colour Challenge: Caterpillar
This is the caterpillar of a moth called drinker (Euthrix potatoria), rietvink in Dutch. This caterpillar is just over 8cm (3.2") long:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/50s
I found it the other day in an area called Buurserzand in The Netherlands. It was crossing a dirt road; I don't know why 8-).
I don't have my own photo of the adult moth, but I did find one for you:

Thanks for watching!
It makes me a feel a bit nauseous look at it but the colours are spectacular.
Beautiful photo of that caterpillar! Gret informative post!
Thank you.
Amazing moth and caterpillar! Orange is an alarm color! It means: Do not eat me, because you will be sick!
I didn't intend to eat it, but I saw a bird that looked interested 8-).

Check out my feed. I am a traveling photographer myself. I'm currently going through a backlog of a year's worth of photos and sharing my stories. Have a great day! 💙

Well focused, so detailed!
I knew it!
I knew that the prettiest caterpillars make the ugliest moths :p
(Ok, this one has cute spot... semi-ugly then)
Here's an exception (a butterfly though, not a moth), a swallowtail, Papilio machaon:
Well this one is also exceptionally gorgeous! :)
