| Re: caterpillers
Depending on the species,a moth may overwinter as an egg, a larva (caterpillar), pupa or adult. If the species overwinters as a larva it may undergo a dormancy (diapause), while other species may feed if the weather is mild, so it's possible to see one.
Did you get a photo Vinny, then we can try to find out which species you saw? Nice surprise anyway! |
