Date and time, location shooting/catching: 2008-09-06 11:50:36, Ukraine, Kiev (Puscha-Voditsky forest)

Photographer's comment: The picture is not staged, as someone might think. The caterpillar itself descended from the tree to the ground and crawled away in an unknown direction...

The last generation is about 8—10cm long (raised them before). Neither small is the very moth :)
