Caterpillar Poplar Kitten

UK Safari Tip:
A great way to see all the details on these insects and other small creatures is with a special magnifier box - click here

The caterpillars of the poplar kitten moth grow to around 38mms in length. They have a bright green body with a brown saddle. The pair of claspers at the back of the body are developed into whip-like extensions.

Poplar kitten caterpillars feed on poplar (hence the name) and aspen.
