Merci Emilie, happy to be in Gif...I'm surprised how green and beautiful it is. Almost like living in a mountain :)

Wonderful spotting, and welcome to Gif-sur-Yvette, Faredin!

Thank you everyone! Yes, Daniele...from now on I need missions that are for french spottings and this part of Europe so thanks a lot.

Shiny hair

cats is short form for caterpillar :)

Congratulations on your 1000th spotting Faredin! You already have 5 missions selected for this spotting but if you're interested we have a local mission for the Île-de-France area:

Happy 1000! and very pretty spotting chosen for it! :-)

Nice color.

Thanks staccyh! Jemma, cats? :)

wow ,you do have lovely cats here!

Congrats on your 1000th spotting Faredin! Beautiful photo.

nope, not the slightest idea of doing that! :)

I hope by saying juicy you didn't think of bitting it :)

Wunderbar! :)

but I like this colour the best, it's so juicy! :)

I took both photos during a dark day so I used flash for both so there shouldn't be much difference. I think this one was bigger and also had more color. I think they differ in color by age, they can even get some kind of red color. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchen-Stre...

It looks like this one has more hair! :)
differences in colour are due to the lighting, not because this caterpillar is brighter, right?
In the photo this one really looks more beautiful! ;)

Sintija, thanks! This one looked more beautiful than the one I found in Denmark :)
