there are weird cats too, it seems this one is of a moth, because i saw an odd shape the other day on a twig, when i tried to move it, it fell down with the wings and all, it was a baby moth.

What a tremendously interesting set of pictures...with commentary as well.

Those butterflies look quite pretty. I think that you did capture them quite well.

That peculiar caterpiller is also interesting in an funny sort of way. It's camoflage is very good.

Say, when that baby moth fell down to the ground when you tried moving it--were the wings still bubbled up with fluid?

Anyway, GF--therse are vrey good pics and I enjoyed seeing them very much.

Glad to see you got to catch that. this is such a "moment in time" that most people don't get to catch. So interesting, it's almost like watching and waiting on an to egg hatch.

yes, it was very interesting. thanks sjoerd & carolyn. that moth, it was looking like a twig only with dark triangular shape. i couldn't see it properly, but i don't think it had any fluid there, it was like turned wrong-side out. this was the first of the two to emerge (2nd pic). second one was too smart, by the time i came out with the camera, it flew off to the neighbour's wall - too far and too high for me to take a shot.

What a great series of photos. A beautiful moth too and the caterpillar is so weird it's really cute.

Glad you were there at the right time.

That caterpillar is absolutely fascinating to me. Thanks for posting the pictures. It's wonderful to see little creatures from another garden far far away.
