Cinnabar Moth Catapillar

A favourite snack of the Cuckoo! :-)

Is it? Thanks for that Muddy.

Brilliant shot!

There's loads of Ragwort around here but no catapillars on them these days.

oomg EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! good pic but..

I haven't heard of this before Pimms..about them eating the ragwort...but at least the horses won't eat it.so they will be safe...lots of it up here,so it should keep them going for a while ..nice looking creature though :o)

Actually very pretty as caterpillars go!

Excellent Pimms :-)

great shot but creepy lol

Haven't heard a cuckoo for years around here! Always used to hear the first one, on or around my birthday in April.
Mind you - I expect they don't know when Spring is now, with our weather!!!

Oh My , that makes me shudder EEEEEEEk .........

Yes, plenty of Ragwort up here in these parts Pimps. Speaking of eating the whole plant....my Rhodanthemums have been consumed. Probably earwigs.

Good photo but also gives me the creeps...

They're brilliant at getting rid of vast amounts of groundsel, so I love 'em! Not much ragworth round here. I didn't know about the cannabalistic bit.

Maybe ill see some of these as there were so many moths in my garden pimp, ill have to check what ragwort is and see if i have any nearby. :-)
