Caterpillar and Bush-Cricket
Two other findings from the Northern Germany on the Baltic Sea:
This huge 10 cm / 4 inch caterpillar of the Goat Moth (Cossus cossus – Weidenbohrer):
and another big insect (6 cm / 2.5 inch): the Great Green Bush-Cricket (Tettigonia viridissima – Grosses oder Grünes Heupferd)

Another thing I love about your photos…. That caterpillar would have looked icky to me if I had seen it in the woods. But, the way you photographed it makes it look so beautiful! Thank you for the new perspective!
glad I could do that 🙂
I have to admit, it wasn’t the nicest caterpillar I ever saw…
Wow that’s a huge caterpillar!
