Two caterpillars in this evening’s offering. One found by Jochen Möhr in Metchosin:
Silver-spotted Tiger Moth Lophocampa argentata (Lep.: Erebidae – Arctiinae)

One young Cat. found by Jeremy Tatum on Mount Douglas. Even when full grown (about the size of my (male) middle finger), these caterpillars are almost impossible to detect. They are among the most difficult of caterpillars to see. How I managed to spot this young one (11 mm) goodness only knows! I also saw an Anise Swallowtail while I was up there.
