Fall cankerworm (Alsophila pometaria). If you have a moment to enlarge the image, check out the reduced 3rd proleg on the left-hand side of the loop, toward the bottom. Most lineages of the Geometridae have lost this A5 proleg completely, so this is very useful for identification. Fast-moving, arboreal caterpillars tend to have reduced numbers of prolegs. The standard in Lepidoptera is 5 pairs. #caterpillar #geometridae #inchworm #moth #lepidoptera #insects #nature #prolegs #evolution #nature

🐛 Did you know inchworms aren't worms at all? These Geometridae larvae are actually moth caterpillars! With April showers here, keep an eye out. Check out recent sightings or log your own at https://www.underthehedge.com/explore/species/Inchworm #Inchworm #Nature #wildlife #UnderTheHedge

#FotoVorschlag: Abgeknickt // Bent, kinked, snapped off, angled

Vielleicht wird das mal ein Heller Schmuckspanner? Oder ein Pappel-Dickleibspanner?

Perhaps one day, this #inchworm will turn into a scalloped oak? Or an oak beauty?
