Hello, after some searches(researches) I present you my first caterpillar phew, it is about the caterpillar of Cucullia verbasci. Fortunately it is one of the easiest to find, it is enough to recognize the white broth, mainly in June in July (still dad's garden).
Family of Noctuidae Caterpillar de Cucculia Biotopes: fields, fallow lands, dunes, edges of roads...
Feeder plants: Molènes (Verbascum nigrum, Verbascum lychnitis, etc.). Sometimes also on Figworts ( Scrophularia).
Biological cycle: a generation a year. Eggs are remotely laid, on the lower face of sheets(leaves) Gaillet.
Caterpillars consume flowers and are often on plants already attacked(affected) by Cucullia verbasci ( Linné). Nymphose in autumn, in cocoons weaved on or in the ground. Emergence usually next year, in June. Sometimes, the nymphal stage(stadium) lasts several years.

Hi Gaetani, Great shot, the subject is very clear. Good DOF, as this allows the subject to stand out against the BG.
Well done. Regards
Patrick

A wonderful capture of this Caterpillar. I didn't know they came in these colors. It is so sharp that every detail is evident. I like the diagonal comp.

Hi Gaetan

Another interesting macro from you, my friend!
Some people say that catepillars aren't beautiful, but this one here comes to contradict: just look at its colors and pattern...splendid!
I really like the sharpness here as well as the POV and very good diagonal composition that you managed.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

Superbes détails et belles couleurs mais sujet....Grrrr
