Setting Up

Here we are setting up the caterplliar's house. We put leaves in and twigs for it to hang from and slide down when it becomes a butterfly. We also put some water in with a cloth over the tub to provide moisture for it.

The Vapourer Moth Caterpillar

We found this caterpillar eating a geranium leaf. It is a Vapourer Moth caterpillar. Its latin name is Orgyia antiqua. ukmoth.org.uk
