@EarlyStages Are you suggesting 2 different species, because I think all pictures are of one single caterpillar. I'm going to look that up in my image database. Thanks for thinking along!

No idea. :) I'm still fascinated by that first photo - amazing!

I'm sure I've already uploaded a ancestor, niece or nephew previously,.... but which one was it.
Dangermouse
Cool! I'll definitely be following the progress of this one. :)
