he startled me
@ezrakeshet submitted: I accidentally brought this guy inside on some picked flowers, what is it? (Seattle WA)
A precious cute little child :’) And also a cabbage looper!
A few days ago, I found this pupae on my Mum’s basil plant.
There’s a few different kinds of basil-eating caterpillars, but I’m guessing it’s either the Cabbage looper, or the Green garden looper.
(the might just be the same species with names across countries)
Caterpillars from the garden centre
Over the summer period I’ve had a chance to meet a good number of caterpillars at work -hundreds of different plants make for a great environment to spot a variety of species. I tried to identify them and learn something new, here are the ones I encountered regularly:
1. Acronicta psi, the grey dagger.
2. Pieris brassicae, the large cabbage white.
3. Trichoplusia ni, the cabbage looper.
4. Phlogophora meticulosa, the angle shades (brown & green morphs).
5. Operophtera brumata, the winter moth.
6. Spilosoma lubricipeda, the white ermine.
7. Orgyia antiqua, the rusty tussock moth.
Aside from their name and what they look like once their metamorphosis is complete, I read about what they prefer to feed on, so that now I have an idea of where I am more likely to find them hanging around. They might be “pests” in my workplace, but these finds are often the highlight of my day too!

Just for funsies, I brought in a cabbage looper caterpillar and raised him. It was fun and I have never felt so proud to watch a plain grey moth fly away.
@llumaca submitted: two caterpillars making a heart shape 💚 found on a mint plant in Italy
I think these caterpillars are in love :)
@lumindara submitted: So I have a bunch of aphids chomping on my garden plants, but I'm wondering if they're perhaps not ALL aphids.... Are those larger, tan guys aphids or are they perhaps on the hunt? The second photo, on my kale looks like a battle may have taken place.
Also on my kale, I found these two little guys wrapped gently in silk. Considering their location, I'm wondering if they're cabbage butterfly?
I'm submitting all this to you from NW Oregon.
Bonus! No ID needed here, just a bug party happening in a squash blossom.
Bug party!!! Love that, wish I could join. As for the big fat round tan dudes amongst the aphids, those are aphid mummies - aphids that have been parasitized by wasps. The female wasp will deposit an egg into the live aphid. It then hatches, and the larva eats the aphid from the inside. It eventually pupates inside the dead aphid, and the outer skin bloats and dries out into the aphid mummy. At some point the adult wasp emerges from a perfectly round hole!
As for the caterpillar in its cocoon, cabbage butterflies form chrysalides, so that's likely a moth. Looks like a cabbage looper to me!
