Awaken little sleeper! - a photo on Flickriver

Awaken little sleeper!

            I took this photo yesterday. A caterpillar got into the little drain at the bottom of the back door. 
This unusual sighting was the start of the great awakening. Today there was an explosion of life. It was warm and sunny and the wildlife has decided this would be the beginning of their year. I can't believe how many photos I took today of different creatures. 

ADDENDUM: The Hebrew Character (Orthosia gothica)

This happens every year, one day when everything just wakes up and gets to work and spring is enacted.

I'm ashamed to say I've had to go to great lengths to identify this caterpillar species three times before, and have managed on each occasion to forgt which species of moth it is. I'll have to get back to you. But I intend to upload another few photos tonight, just to celebrate.
