Copper underwing (Amphipyra pyramidoides), #9639

Another view of this pretty caterpillar. It was munching on the leaves of a tartarian honeysuckle, alongside a trail. The honeysuckle is an invasive species, the moth is not!

It's very pretty and seems to blend in well with the leaf. I like the markings. V.

Amazing how he blends in so well with the leaf, almost like an extension of it. Terrific closeup, Christine. V.

Sounds as if this caterpillar needs to be encouraged! He's rather attractive too.
