Paging through the numerous photos of yesterday's caterpillar, 
I took a closer look at a photo that I took later in the day.
It found that it had shed it's skin and moved further up the twig leaving the old skin behind.
The front of his body is anchored to the twig with a strand of silk.
Had I been aware of this at the time, I would have anchored myself to a chair
at close range to photograph the whole process!
