Hi!
Photo on Finland Kokkola 20 June 2020.
Is it possible to get family for that larva?
Any help to genus or species is much appreciated.
Size 23m.


Thanks for help.

Pentti

Hi Pentti, I think it's a caterpillar of a butterfly - and I'm a bit confused as it looks exactly like a young state of Saturnia pavoniella (Saturniidae), which is a species from the alpine regions of Italy, Austria etc.
