Caterpillar of the Peacock Two caterpillars of the peacock butterfly. They where eating away stinging nettle in a fast pace so to me that makes it very usefull caterpillars. I wonder if they take care not to hurt eachother with those spines.<br /> <br /> Dutch name: Rups van de Dagpauwoog (Aglais io) European Peacock,Geotagged,Inachis io,The Netherlands Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
