Hibernating larva of Apatura iris - a photo on Flickriver

            Apatura iris (Linnaeus, 1758)
Papilionoidea▸Nymphalidae▸Apaturinae▸Apaturini

Purple emperor (EN), Großer Schillerfalter (DE)

The tiny larvae hibernate nestled to the buds of their host plants. They are well camouflaged and, combined with their small size, can take a good amout of patience to find. This larva was sitting on a branch about 2.5 meters above the ground on their primary host plant, Salix caprea.

Photo captured in the wild, under natural light, in Austria.
