Mullien Moth Caterpillars

[Stan]

Found these in the garden yesterday evening and found they had munched their way through this stem from bottom to top. So took some shots before removing them and a few more of their friends and put them over the fence in next doors garden
Not sure what the plant is but its got 3 stems and hopefully the other two will survive

As it was the garden, shot on a tripod with a green card behind

1/80, f8, ISO 800, 100mm

Great shot Stan but they can climb fences and they may bring more mates from next door

Re: Mullien Moth Caterpillars

great colour on these Stan. Could you go in any closer to see more detail of the head ?

with this one I wanted to get two in the frame but I have a few singles (there were 7 or 8 of them on the plant) I have yet to process and may give some more detail as they were a bit closer

I also used a light blue one, not sure which I prefer



and here is a shot of them all on the leaf I transferred them to before sending them next door - some have had more of a feast than others
