Identification of larvae and pupae

True, the building material for the cover is not typical for this type of psychid.

Why not typical? Pieces of leaves, in my opinion, are just typical for the male's cover.

I found a caterpillar of unearthly beauty yesterday. Does anyone know her?" Thank you. Oka Nature Reserve, near Ryazan.

On this plant here -

I found a caterpillar of unearthly beauty yesterday.

Zerynthia polyxena ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775)

Is it a pupa? Like a worm sticking out of a nettle leaf... Filmed in June 2010 in Chelyabinsk.

Location: Israel, North. Season: summer.

Today I found in the bathroom some caterpillars / larvae (?), in the number of 3 individuals.
The most striking distinguishing feature is the presence of a house that they drag behind them, like a caddis fly. However, unlike caddis flies, they can climb out from both sides of the house and turn over in it around its axis. They look like baggies.

I'll describe the details:
1) The" house " is elliptical, 8-12 mm long, gray in color with a light spot in the center, flat. It looks like it's made up of very small grains of sand. It has "exits" at both ends. Apparently, there are hooks near the holes, because the house can cling and hang even on the glass.
2) "Larva". The body consists of ring-shaped segments. It has 3 (?) pairs of legs, and short antennae (?). The head is brown and has the shape of a hemisphere. The first segments are dark brown, but gradually lighten. From the middle of the calf, the segments are completely white. Two dark stripes run along the calf.
3)Behaviour. Very mobile. Responds to sound, light, and movement. Instantly changes the side of the carapace. "Looks out" for the direction of movement like a caterpillar, while stretching out in half the length of the house. it moves fast enough.

I was very interested in the new hangers-on. I would be grateful if someone could help me determine what kind of scary beast this is.
I attach my sketch to the question , on which, in fact, the model itself sits.

It is likely that these are caterpillars of butterflies of the genus Eudarcia or similar, from the family of true moths (Tineidae).

Thank you very much!

Guys tell me this cluster of caterpillars on the nettle Inachis io?

Yeah, he's the one (there's no mistaking it)

tell me, what is this caterpillar, what is it called and where is it found?

Dmitry Bogachev
Pear-eyed peacock (or large night Peacock's eye) - Saturnia pyri ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775)
South of the European part, Caucasus, Transcaucasia. The caterpillar lives mainly on fruit trees.

On the reverse side of the leaf, I found a brood of larvae. Can anyone tell me whose they are? Taken in Chelyabinsk. June 30.

Larvae of some leaf beetles (family Chrysomelidae) And what kind of plant do they sit on?

Like on a young birch tree.I used to shoot Poplar Leaf Beetle and Birch Trubkovert on the same trees. The larvae are very small, hang out like an ovipositor, and only after removing and enlarging it did I find that they are larvae. That is, a maximum of 2 millimeters, or rather 1,5

Well, in fact, it resembles the young larvae of the poplar leaf beetle (Chrysomela populi) that have just hatched from the eggs. Only then it is unlikely that the masonry (brood) was found by you on a birch tree: it should have been an undergrowth of aspen or poplar.

Tell me what kind of butterfly will be.

Orgyia antiqua

I shot a larva on a birch tree.I thought it was birch Cimbex. But when I looked closely, there were no stripes along the back. Maybe these are age-related features, or the Cymbex is not birch? Taken in Chelyabinsk. July 2010.

Lichen Eilema palliatella. In the Crimea, caterpillars occur en masse.

Thank you.
We also have them en masse.
This and another view (photo not processed) orange spots on a black background

Please help me determine what kind of butterfly it is. The caterpillar was found today, in Moscow, on the road, from what tree it fell, I do not know. Tried to feed linden - does not eat. I really don't want to starve her to death((

This is a lime hawk moth. It's too late for him to eat, because he was crawling to pupate. Plant it in a jar of sand. It will burrow and pupate.

I put him in a jar of sand, and he just rolls circles on it, doesn't try to bury himself. Is this normal?

Help determine the type of caterpillar found in Yekaterinburg, in the yard, crawling through the sand:

I didn't pay attention to the photo above, it looks like a barge driver, no?

micronight
There are at least two options:
1. The caterpillar is not quite ready for pupation yet, and it still needs time to crawl. The sand should be moistened.
2. The caterpillar is affected from the inside by rider larvae. In this case, it will die.

I'll assume it's already buried by now.

Another linden hawk moth caterpillar, ready to pupate.

Evgenich, thank you!

The caterpillar was found today, in Moscow, on the road, from what tree it fell, I do not know.

She didn't fall. It came down and crawled to pupate.

I don't know about linden, but many hawkmoths are supposed to run around before pupating. It is ok.

I don't know about the wet sand... In my case, various caterpillars that happened to be buried in a wet substrate died.

And these aren't even maggots yet. Is it possible to determine?

Goldeneye's eggs.

The bottom line is this: a work colleague found two interesting specimens near her home. Or rather, her children. They were placed in a jar and then brought to work, where they were photographed.
I once flew Saturnia Piri, I assumed that this is her species, but after looking in the Net, we did not find any similarities other than the size.
Location: Yagotinsky district, east of the Kiev region.
What is this species?
I apologize to the moderators if I posted the wrong topic, and I ask you to move it to the right place.

That's right, this is the caterpillar Saturnia pyri, before pupating, it changes color from yellow-green to what we see.

Here is a caterpillar found in Moscow today-crawling along the road. It looks like a moth, but can someone tell me in more detail what kind of species? And what should I feed her?

Please help me identify the pest.
On rabinii false acacia.
Turns up the edges of the leaves. It can be 5-6 pieces in one inversion.
They are now close to pupation.
Kherson.
Presumably mush, a type of boxwood mining plant.

Think Calliteara pudibunda

And here is a similar animal to the previous one, but the tail is red.Can anyone say anything about this? Rent in Chelyabinsk in July 2010

Calliteara pudibunda (Linnaeus, 1758)Shy woolly foot or Redtail. Uniquely.
