Red-humped caterpillars (Schizura concinna), #8010

Carleton Place. Found these and a bunch more all clustered on a scrub willow alongside some abandoned rail tracks. They are not quite mature yet as they don't have the red head of the final instar.

they look like glazed treats stuck together, with the red segment particularly succulent..

Neat capture of this cluster of caterpillars! The segments are well shown.
