Re: Peppered Moth Caterpillar

One I have never seen. The camouflage is amazing, not surprised you thought it was part of the branch.
Lovely sharp photograph.

That's a top-notch shot of Twiggy!

It really is a super shot. You also did well to spot it as it's so well camouflaged.

Paul - I'm constantly impressed by the range of wildlife in your garden

This is yet another example - I really wish I could fine one of these in my garden.

Wow that thing is so camouflaged Im surprised you spotted it. Hopefully predators don't see them too often either
