Slow but sure-best viewed large if you can

Happily sat looking at one of the plants outside and saw at least four caterpillars on it. Extension tubes helped me get this shot and I was pleased as the wind was quite gusty and not helping keeping the subject still. Not sure what type but I don't fancy there chances as it is quite cold today.

It's days are numbered for sure....born to late...I feel a song coming on!!! You aren't old enough perhaps to remember that one!!!

@happypat not if it is the one I am thinking of circa 1958. The Pony Tails I think!!!!!

@padlock Probably Padlock I can't remember who sang it...just googled it & there were four lads singing the version I'm thinking about they might be the Pony Tails but probably a cover. I love the song though!

Good close up. I think these are the caterpilalrs of the cabbage white and unlike you think @happypat the hibernate as chrysalis ( so do a lot of other caterpillars)
