Yeah, I might not have thought it was a caterpillar ... it looked very colourful and your picture of it is wonderfully sharp and clear. V

It looks more like something out an artist's imagination than a real caterpillar.

seen so apparently 'upright'. this individual could be imagined as a cartoon character, maybe called Byron Bristletip, and living through many perilous adventures...
