maybe! :) about this big one I feel almost very confident, that small one is a tricky one ;)

maybe someone someday will have something against this fact, until then I will let them enjoy their new names :)

Yea but I'm not 100% sure so be careful :)

I have nothing against them both being fox moth caterpillars! :)

Guess what I was just going to write you about this caterpillar that it could be a fox moth but then i somehow remembered that i had written it to someone else so checked my comments and found it it was for your other spotting :). The thing is that they can change depending on their stage, if you just google it you will find many different forms so it could be that both of them are.
