I was browsing web to see if I could help with identifying a caterpillar for one of our new members.I found the site below is very good with plates of pictures with common names and the scientific.Thought I would pass on the info.It is now in my favourites

Yes I thought that as both my butterfly book usually describe the caterpillars sometimes but no photo and it isnt easy with description alone I have printed some of the plates and also copied and pasted the names to go with each plate and printed those too.Easier for me on paper
