they are such beautiful creatures as a caterpillar and winged version--but can cause so much damage.there were hundreds on a tree at a restaurant where I eat sometimes and they stripped the tree of leafs very sharp and beautiful capture

Destructive indeed but, they have to eat to become butterfly's.. Or Moths.. So, catch 22 indeed.. Impressive shot mate, wonder what species this was.. Rob
