ednl 🇪🇺<p>I went for a walk yesterday in Zeeland and saw LOTS of caterpillars on the road at a certain point. Luckily there was little to no car traffic there. Most were black with spikes, those will become peacock butterflies (Aglais io, 🇳🇱 dagpauwoog). But I also saw a HUGE green one of the hawk-moth (Agrius convolvuli, 🇳🇱 windepijlstaart). Apparently those are rare in NL.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/caterpillar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>caterpillar</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rups</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/butterfly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>butterfly</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/moth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vlinder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vlinder</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nachtvlinder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nachtvlinder</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mot</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Zeeland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zeeland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dagpauwoog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dagpauwoog</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/windepijlstaart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>windepijlstaart</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/peacockbutterfly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>peacockbutterfly</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hawkmoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hawkmoth</span></a></p>
