Caterpillar Time!
Greetings,
Late summer is a great time to find caterpillars. I'm sure you are all familiar with the beautiful Monarch caterpillar. This brood when it emerges will be heading to Mexico! Just look for a patch of Milkweed and you are likely to see one of these.
Now, here is a caterpillar most of you are not familiar and may not even think it was a caterpillar if you saw it! This is the caterpillar of a Flannel Moth. This caterpillar will feed on many of the hardwood trees found in our region. HOWEVER BEWARE! This caterpillar packs a painful and poisonous sting! They have poisonous stinging spines underneath the hair.
