Bug of the Day

081508_05

What? You thought just because we're on vacation Neko wouldn't uncover strange and weird bugs? I have no idea what this caterpillar is, but it was all I could do to convince Neko that we could not take it home, as we're already traveling with a chrysalis, awaiting its transformation into a moth.

There is no room in the bug cage, kiddo.

    I finally found the answer:
    White Marked Tussock Moth Caterpillar.
    You can learn more about this caterpillar at your local library or here:
