A large fat caterpillar resting comfortably on a tree bark in a curled position. It is about 80mm in length. As you can see, it is camouflaged perfectly on the tree trunk with it's greyish brown colors and patterns. The curvy lines on it's back matches that of the lines on the surface of the tree bark. This might be the larva of an Erebus ephesperis (Owl Moth).
