I took these pictures of some vapourer moth caterpillars a couple of days ago outside my front door in Whitefield, Manchester.

This is the common Vapourer Moth, which may be known at once by its bright chestnut colour, with darker transverse markings, and a white crescent-shaped spot in the anal angle of the fore wings.

Egg of the Vapourer Moth 20 14.

Larva of the Vapourer Moth 229 128.

The female will never develop her wings, but remain to her life’s end a crawling grub, like the female of our own Vapourer moth, and that of our English Glow-worm.
