Field Notes

Description:

This caterpillar looks like a stick. Almost missed it it was so well camouflaged but it moved. It has 6 front legs and 4 back sucker kind of legs (I think). Its about 6cm long.

Habitat:

I found this in a grass backyard by a swimming pool with tall trees above it.

You're welcome! The video is informative. I think it shows the characteristic looping gait of a Geometrid caterpillar. I hope someone else can help you further!

Yes that worked. I used the URL in the address bar rather than the actual share this video URL. Thanks for the tip :)

zenmach, you need to use the full youtube url, not the short one. Have you tried that?
