Thank you, Maria dB.
Beautiful shot
Thank you Jolly Ibanez, but unlucky, This caterpillar stay in the forest. Then i cannot follow it closely.
Hi Tic, if its spinning a weblike silk, this means it is about to pupate. It takes about two weeks for it to turn into a butterfly. Maybe you can observe it from time to time to see its progress.
