His Imperial Majesty, or hers

 This huge hairy caterpillar came into the front door of the Croft, yesterday:


She or he is the caterpillar (larva) of the Emperor moth, Saturnia pavonia.

 

Nature, coming in the door

 S/he is dressed for the disco - yellow body stocking, neon-blue jewellery and that "I'll have a Bloody Mary" mouthpart.
