Externet Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Hi a Red bud tree (Cercis canadensis), see the small branch growing 'northeast' in the center of the image ? Well, it is not a branch. It is a worm. Hyper identical color an appearance to the branches, walking like an 'inchworm' Never seen that model. Has to be a 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensei Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) It's larvae. Photo is not sharp enough. It looks similar to biston betularia. https://www.google.com/search?q=biston+betularia https://www.google.com/search?q=peppered+moth+larvae Edited May 5, 2023 by Sensei 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Externet Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 Thanks ! It has to be your peppered moth larvae. Identical. My camera was at its limits, my photography skills too. Noticed it uses a 'life line' attaching its raised end to somewhere with an ultrafine filament as spiders do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
