TWO CATERPILLARS ON THE FIG TREE

I don't know much about the first one ...

... I mean, the species on this photograph ...

... but the second one, the caterpillar on this shot ...

... is the larval phase of the Choreutis nemorana moth.

(Enlargeable)

These larvae build a small tent on the upper surface of the leaf, and then, they feed under the silk.

It's a very common pest on this tree, but fortunately they don't cause much damage to the plant ... at least not in this area, as I could see.

The adult moth assumes a pretty unusual, characteristic pose when resting.

And now is time to go back to the first species, the one that you saw on the opening shot. The caterpillar was on the leaf on that photograph ...

... but usually I see these larvae on the twigs ...

... where they are nicely camouflaged and often hard to spot.
As always in posts, the photographs are my work.
