Six-spot Burnet Caterpillar and his cocoon

Six-spot Burnet Caterpillar and his cocoon One day I walked past a wall where a caterpillar was sitting and I made a picture of it. Next day I walked past the same wall and saw to my surprise that the caterpillar had transformed into a cocoon. Made a picture again and combined them to see the change.

      I finally managed to identify the caterpillar, so now it is also clear how the adult looks like :)
