Hello. My name is Tristan Norton and I am a Wikipedia member. I go to school in Lithgow and live in Blackheath. I usually correct links and spelling errors and rarely ever contribute anything of any interest. I Can't Believe It's Not A Hyperlink. If you really want to talk to me, try my MSN Messenger address. I also contribute to Wikitravel.
Euthrix potatoria, commonly known as the drinker, is an orange-brown moth in the family Lasiocampidae. The species' common and scientific names derive from the larva's supposed drinking of drops of dew. It is found in Europe, most frequently found in marshy places, fens and riversides but may also be seen in drier, grassy terrain. The larva (caterpillar) of this species grows to about 6 cm (2.3 in) in length and is hairy, striped and spotted, with distinctive tufts fore and aft. Caterpillars hibernate while young and resume feeding in the spring, pupating in a cocoon during the summer. This picture shows the top of an E. potatoria caterpillar in Keila, Estonia.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
