Brimstone Moth Caterpillar
Opisthograptis luteolata (caterpillar)
Looper caterpillars live on shrubs, trees, and herbaceous plants in woodlands, gardens, and hedgerows, where they feed on leaves. They move with a distinctive looping gait because they have fewer prolegs than many other caterpillars. Most rely heavily on camouflage, often resembling twigs when resting motionless along stems. Many species can also thrash or drop from foliage on silk when disturbed.
