We love seeing caterpillars.  Last time we walked the loop we were on Beaconhill, and Jon said, “What is that?”  It was a yellowish fat caterpillar about the size of his index finger.  And it was right in the middle of the road, traveling toward the edge.  We looked it up on the Seek app, and found out that it is a larva of an Imperial Moth.  I took its picture and Jon pushed it to the side, saving its life.

 

When we got home, I looked it up on Wikipedia, and this is what it will look like in its adult stage.

 

 

The description said that Imperial moths can be as large as 6 7/8 inches across!!!  WOW!!! 

 

I hope we get to see one of those.

 

 

HAPPY FALL, Y’ALL!!!
