one of my favorites caterpillars. the scientific name is Cerura vinula.
it is quite complicated to photograph because when approached tends to twist causing problems to the photographer just because of his strange morphology.

A remarkable creature I had never seen before! Looks like a cross between a parrot, caterpillar and a centipede tail. Cool capture.

What a wonderful shot! Such a perky little subject - and I love those road sweeper feet!
