Hi friends,
This picture is not the one which I had promised to post today.
But last night I found this caterpillar in the front garden.
It was a bit dark, also because he was sitting between the shrubs,
and a bit difficult to catch him.
I hope you like the result.
I was so happy with it.
The more so since this morning, the caterpillar had disappeared.
I suspect it has found another place to pupation.
(or is in the process somewhere).
Thank you again for your lovely comments on my other upload.
It always makes me very happy!
p.s. The caterpillar ate from the Common Rue / Ruta graveolens (wijnruit).
He eats them because of the sharp flavor of the essential oils that are in that plant.
( also as in parsley, fennel. etc.)
So other animals do not eat the caterpillar.
