Closed Theme Weekly theme 12/5 to 18/5: Caterpillars

[Helix_2648]

Hi all together,

we all know them but they are sometimes hard to find and exists in variety of subspecies.
Caterpillars are little wonderworkers. They start from an egg and turn out to be a wonderful butterfly.

Show us your best pictures from the wide range of them!

Here is the first picture from me:
