After enjoying the leaf of a cherry sapling, . . .
|
. . . the caterpillar moves on to investigate the buds.
|
"Hmmm . . . what have we here?"
|
"I'll just have a nibble . . ."
|
" . . . or maybe a big bite!"

Neato! The bird poop worm! I've never seen or heard them before, but I like them already. :-)

Wow, what a great reminder to be thankful for the way we look...it could be much worse! =P Very cool, though, I always find bugs and caterpillars that disguise as leaves or snake heads or other things that fool predators to be very cool (that is until I accidentally touch them because I don't see them).

number 5 was added to my favorite ones. As an agronomist I studied all these kinds of insects at all stages, infact Enthomology was probably the most difficult of my 35 exams. But so fascinating, incredible world, that I appreciate now more than when I HAD to study it. great captures, as always, Gretel!

Ugly indeed. But maybe this is the source of interests or even fascination. Fantastic story :)
