Will it be a Butterfly or Moth? by ludwigsdiana

Will it be a Butterfly or Moth?

As I was in the garden I saw something pale moving on the wall. On closer inspection, it was this weird caterpillar spinning itself into a cocoon under a slight overlap on the wall! It sure looked creepy with all those little pink feet !

The next day I checked, it was perfectly tucked away. I wonder how long it will take to turn into something different?
amazing close-up

Great capture. And Well spotted.

Awesome capture! Mother Nature is full of curiosities!! :)

Cool shot- if I'm noticing similar features to our Tusk (Tussock- can't remember the exact word!) Moths, that's what it will be- a moth- and the spikey features usually mean it's poisonous. If you touch it by accident it will give you a little burn/rash- the caterpillar, not the moth.

Great find and capture.

@olivetreeann I just googled and it is not related to the Tusk caterpillars as it has no markings. Thanks for the idea though ;-)
