    A photo of the caterpillars of this moth:
    Orchard Ermine (Yponomeuta padella) These caterpillars are from the satin moth. <br /> There are many similar species and each one has its own tree. I forgot to notice the tree they where sitting on so it might also be one of the other species.<br /> <br /> Dutch name: meidoornstippelmot Geotagged,Orchard Ermine,The Netherlands,Yponomeuta padella
