#Photowalk Challenge June/July : Some very hungry caterpillars 🐛

[MissUnderstanding]

A second entry to this photo challenge for me. I spotted there amazing little beasties on last night’s walk. They were massive! Not a lot left of the plants they were feasting on. I wonder what they’ll turn in to!

They’re great, aren’t they! Nature is wonderful.

They are awesome.... !!! And so, so beautiful too!

[MissUnderstanding in reply to Oldfloss]

I totally agree! They took me by surprise as I came round the corner and spotted masses of them all over the foxgloves.

Wow, that’s beautiful! I searched through my ‘Wildlife in Britain’ book and the only one that looks similar is the Large White. Apparently it can be up to 4cm long and a gregarious l 🐛 to quote ‘it is not uncommon to see hoards of them demolishing the leaves of cabbages and other related plants’!

I saw some pretty butterflies on my hill/Forest walk today but none would stay still for a photo! 😂

Camera shy !!

Oooh thank you! I love the description of a caterpillar as “gregarious”! That’s super. I think you could well be right about the type of caterpillar. It’s an area I regularly walk so I’ll see which butterflies are around there soon. Maybe I’ll even be lucky enough to catch one in shot!

I think it'll turn into a Monarch butterfly!
