My, how you’ve grown..! 😳
After just a few days, the 2mm have transformed into inch-long eating machines, systematically stripping leaves from the ground up.

Bon, il est 4h du mat' ici alors j'envoie du sexe : deux tabac d'Espagne, en Estonie (Argynnis paphia).

Deuxième image : ceci n'est pas une chenille ! C'est une larve de "mouche à scie" fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphyta, une tenthrède… bref, tu vois le genre : Tenthredo (c'est le genre). Astuce : en plus des 6 pattes, les chenilles ont maximum 2×5 "ventouses". Les fausses chenilles en ont 2×6.
