Caterpillar living dangerously

It's mother forgot to tell it to stay away from my wife's roses! The poor thing didn't last long when my wife found it...

Cheers,
Stephen

Stephen,
Thanks for forwarning me in the title about what was in the picture.
You've saved me from nightmares tonight.

Nettie doesn't "do" these particular insects.

Hi Stephen,
Yep, can relate to that, my wifes garden, the roses in particular , are her pride and joy.

Nice shot, of a soon to meet its demise, critter.

Regards
Trevor

It's beautiful! You can almost feel its velvety skin and little sucky feet.

I confess that I really like caterpillars and move them from my roses if I find a nice one...what a sucker huh!

Thanks Adam, Berrie and Trevor.

I'll try and remember to warn you again if I post more of these, Jeanette!

Cheers,
Stephen
