The Most Modest Crawl You'd Ever See

By this time you probably already are saying; "Seriously? How many more many- legged creeping critters is she going to show us?" This is going to be the last .. for now.

Tonight, I really wanted to post something else instead of this though I've finished working on these pictures for a week. However, there's something about this caterpillar that the other caterpillar I presented you that I wanted you to notice.

Their legs ... have you ever paid attention on a caterpillar? Probably not specially if you're not a fan of them, yes? I grew up with these creatures because in my grandfather's house there was a big yard and critters abound. My grandfather made me appreciate all of them though so I don't remember freaking out when I see any of those. In fact, my usual reaction is to pluck them up but I've also managed to unlearn that.

Anyway, about their legs, most of the time we only see them on side view on pics don't we? Notice the way they're arranged? Can you count how many pairs this one have? If you thought 5 I thought the same, too. Until now, am actually wondering whether those tiny leg looking like thin yellow extensions near what must be his face - are actually legs. They look very poised holding the stem don't you think? Do you happen to know? Shout it out in the comment?

I found him in Sonsbeek Park. Along with these three. Yes, they've chewed the plant they were on bald but there were still plenty of the stalks around them.

I wanted to take a video to show you how they walk but they won't budge. My guess, they're hiding from the beaked creatures which abound in that place.

Well, I'm guessing they crawl the same way this guy does. Yes, it's the same guy on the first pic of this post. Last set of feet first, which is found at the bottom, then all four middle legs but then from the hind-est to the nearest to them seem to be forelegs - if those forelegs aren't actually hands.

I'm doubting they're forelegs cause if you clicked on the video then you must have also seen that he used those three sets of must be hands near his head to hold the stem he then chewed on and .. you must have also seen how soft and fragile looking they actually are without their "scary fronts" - if I may call it that way because to be honest I find them very very beautiful. So much like a perfect work of art!

Do you happen to be as inquisitive and curious as I am when it comes to nature? Why?
If you are, which creature are you so curious of and what on earth do you do when you spot one?
Any unusual thing you want to share us about such creature?

_{This content's 100% mine , I took the pics and video with my Samsung Galaxy A3, 2016 .}

_{By the way, did you notice the bug last night? My first pic won't show on the comp - is visible on mobile and tablet but not on the comp and it wasn't just mine surely, I bumped into a few posts posted 6 hours before mine and the case was the same. Is that solved now?}
