The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Challenge #5 in the Life in the Natural World series. Hosted by RuthC.

Challenge has finished

Caterpillars, one or more.... hairy ones, green ones, ones with spots or stripes, brightly coloured ones; I don't mind, as long as they are caterpillars, before they pupate and grow into moths or butterflies. Show us caterpillars on leaves, flowers, tree trunks etc. out in the real world, and not under studio lights. SIZE DOES MATTER: See below!
