Believe it or not, the adult Sycamore Moth that emerges from this flamboyant caterpillar is a dull grey! More like a Swan turning into an ugly duckling!!

What a beautiful capture. It immedietely struck me, the bright yellow and dark orange especially. The leaf is also a lovely pastel green contrasting fairly well against the catepillar. Good job on this close up! Thanks for sharing.

Incredible is what you are saying... the caterpillar looks amazing. Where did you found this vivid creation of mother nature? It is so furry and friendly looking...

Truly a wonder from mother nature, and a little joke I suppose since the caterpillar will look so dull:) this is a superb capture....very well done !!

Ah, we all go grey oneday!! He is a fellow creature with us humans. And I definetly had my hair those colors at one time in my life. Every color of the rainbow infact. But I have yet to have the spunk and coolness of the mohawk action our little pal here has. Maybe when I go grey I'll give it a try.

I hope you didn't touch this... I remember leaning on one like this (but not as spectacular) accidently on a fence post once and it stung and itched like crazy! I imagine the colors are a warning to anything that might eat it... and maybe the moth it turns into doesn't need such a warning... but whatever the reason, it is a wonderful specimen.

That’s an awesome shot of the most spectacular caterpillar I have ever seen. I rather suspect that Samatar is correct about it being poisonous. I brushed past a little hairy green one with red spots on it. The burning was instant and persistent.

That is so cool! I've seen some bright fuzzy caterpillars, but none like this!
Kinda reminds me of one of my little sisters fuzzy pillows...don't think I'd want to snuggle that though. ^^
