Description
In September Karel saw this caterpillar in our garden between two bricks .
It's about 4 cm.
And this is what Wikipedia says about it.:
The Pale Tussock (Calliteara pudibunda) is a moth of the Lymantriidae family.
It is found in Europe and Anatolia.
The Dutch common name for the moth (Meriansborstel) is named for famous butterfly
and insect painter Anna Maria Sibylla Merian.
The wingspan is 40-60 mm. The moth flies from April to June.
The larvae feed on Oak, Willow, Birch, Prunus and Crataegus species.
Thank you very much for your visit.
