A truly colourful creature. The caterpillar was sighted on a footbridge handrail next to ANBG’s Red Centre, looping its way up the handrail. Near the top of the handrail, it came into contact with some strands of spider’s web as seen in the final image. The caterpillar immediately arched over backwards and fell to the ground to continue on its way, a behaviour I haven’t seen before.
