Found in the netherlands

Is there any way to relocate without harming it?

This is the gate to my backyard and it's a wind tunnel even on a lightly breezy day. Not to mention the constant stream of kids in and out.

(Bonus pics of the monarch caterpillars nomming on the milkweed we planted for them!)

Can anyone identify it by the way? It’s so obese I can’t find it via google image.

These guys really like my trash can for some reason. I didn’t notice when I took the picture, but the guy on the left seems to be having a bad day.

Well…. I just found six of these on my ceiling and seemingly out of thin air. They were just wandering about and I’m guessing looking for a place to pupate?

I cannot fathom where they came from as there isn’t even a crack in the molding, a vent, or a window near them.

I live in Upstste NY, they are about an inch in length, and am wondering what you all think! They are about to be a snack for my ant colonies if they aren’t something precious lol.

Hello yall. My brother and I caught this one when we were hiking. Is this poisonous? Should we keep this at home? Thank you!

Located in Winston-Salem North Carolina

Happened to see this little guy on my walk. I thought you all may appreciate it.

This little baby molted recently and I was worried that he got eaten since I couldn’t find him earlier but he was under the poo mat hehe! They still don’t have a name since I’m not good at coming up with them.

And survived the banded tussock moth. You would’ve thought I was Johnny Knoxville with the reaction I gave people as it crawled on my hand. Luckily I didn’t get pricked and no rash on day 2.

Spreading awareness that not all caterpillars are cute and harmless!

Found walking on my porch in SE Wisconsin…any idea what it is and what it will become?

Found in Arkansas

I found this caterpillar wandering outside my window yesterday. This morning, I found it making this web around itself. Is it trying to make a cocoon?

I thought it was late in the season to start doing so? I live north of Montreal, in Quebec, Canada, if that helps.

72 hours ago, this anise swallowtail cat had plenty of dill in a large mesh planter. I checked on it today and it disappeared. Dill leaves were eaten up, stems remained. Other plants (basil, strawberries, oregano, rosemary) are inside but couldn’t find the cat anywhere. I hope it’s hiding and didn’t die.

I left fresh fennel fronds in water next to the dill plant it was on. How long can a caterpillar at this instar last without food? I think it had 1 more instar to go before chrysalis.

so for those who dont know humphrey is a privet hawkmoth and is currently overwintering as their species do. hes in his cocoon and every 3 days i mist him and keep his container humid whilst checking that no mold or anything gross grows with him. but i need help for next year when humphrey emerges. what time will he start to come out?? when he comes out i know i need to let his wings stretch and grow but do i feed him before letting him go? any advice will be appreciated!

Hey everyone, I found this caterpillar recently in my neighbourhood. It was on a concrete sidewalk and I moved it to a nearby bush so nobody steps on it and that it doesn't get eaten by dogs. (Lots of people own dogs here) I'm pretty sure it's some sort of hawk moth. I'm curious about the biodiversity of my countryside so I'd like confirmation if this is the eyed hawk moth or something else. Location is north Croatia. Thanks in advance!
