I mean, who else posts such detailed videos of shatapillers?
Every 42ish mins one them does a poo purge, or should that be 'pass a frass'

Photo of a freshly moulted puss moth larvae on a green leaf. To the right is the caterpillar with it's buff coloured head, a pink patch sits above its head which has two black spots. Its sides are lime green with white spots. To it's left is it's old skin, a shrivelled black and white membrane with it's two tail projections pointing straight upwards.
A face on photo of a Puss moth larvae which had its final moult a day earlier. The image shows that it's full head surround is deep pink. Below it's head its six short legs that are stripped green and black.
16 days later and the kids have grown up so much. Final moult for most was this am.
Here's one next to it's old skin which it will go onto consume. One of it's siblings was a day ahead and has already developed it's deep pink head surround. #ukwildlife #uknature #teammoth #moths #caterpillers
