Caterpillars and other bugs

Fire bug, scientific name Phyrrhocoris Apterus. (Apterus means "without wings". Although they can't fly they do have wings.)
This caterpillar is Calliteara Pudibunda, Pale Tussock in English, or "Meriansborstel" in Dutch
The butterfly is active at night and is a dull grey.

This bug is a Graphosoma Lineatum, or a pyjama bug.
All these insects are abundant now, preparing for winter.
