Caterpillar Camouflage

Gastropacha quercifolias are one species with excellent camo. Very easy to miss if you dont know they are there. The small stubby "tail" even mimics leaf/flower buds or cut branch.

3rd instar Gastropacha quercifolia stuffing his face with green lunch.

Fun fact: Usually caterpillars have 5 or 6 instars. But overwintered G. Quercifolia caterpillars may have as many as 8 instars.
