Caterpillars of the Map (Araschnia levana)

I had taken some caterpillars of Map (Araschnia levana) found on a Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) home for rearing. This was a fortunate circumstance for the caterpillars, as part of the Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) there was mown or mulched two days later (probably as part of path maintenance work by the forestry office).
