Rusty Tussock Moth caterpillar

How cool is this. On my cherry tree in the front garden. Apparently the female moth has no wings!! Nature can be strange.

Wow! What a lovely caterpillar & beautifully captured against the pattern and colour of the leaf.

Wonderful close up and detail, looks poisonous though.

@ludwigsdiana apparently it is!! I didn't touch it

Wow! A super close-up, Jo! Great details and colours (especially with the sunlit green leaf as its backdrop). This is sure a new one for me! Fav
