woohoo! :)) and only now I noticed that there is such an option to search for an organim :D Double celebration for me! :)
An interesting fact, mine and your spottings are the only one in PN. We have provided both stages of caterpillar and an adult moth, time to celebrate :)
Hahah, yes it's that one and I just found it in my garden on a fig tree which I had already checked it few times before and this time I was looking for the figs and found this one :)
wow, this is the one you had to find and you really found it!!!! Congratulations! :)
Thanks, it is interesting one and in its earlier stages it has some kind of green color instead of brown like this one.
