On my walk yesterday afternoon I came across this large, hairy Caterpillar on the trunk on an old Black wattle tree.
I think this caterpillar was preparing to pupate. This might be a caterpillar of one of the very large moths that we have here.
Longer than my index finger, with eyebrows almost as bushy as mine.
When I got home I spotted this small Praying mantis on my car.

Wow! What a bug, that caterpillar! Spring is sprung. :)
Glad you didn't touch that caterpillar! I love mantis and so does my Sudanese cat. It's a race to get onto the veranda on the morning, remove the praying mantis's to the safety of the garden before he wanders out.
