•  Question Are these 'studio' shots (nothing wrong with that, just curious)? Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:58, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment nope, shooting place is natural: wet wooded meadow and the caterpillar is on the feeding plant Gymnadenia conopsea. -- Ivar (talk) 11:48, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Thanks. The time clock and delay between the images made me think it was after dark... Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:38, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment it couldn't have been after dark – sunset on 3th of july is around 22:30 at my hometown latitude and delay between photos meant, that caterpillar was wandering around on the plant. -- Ivar (talk) 18:48, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
