Caterpillars and Moths

Posted on October 17, 2010 by scoileoingarden

Tori and Carmen went caterpillar hunting and were lucky to find some unusual specimens. One looked very exotic and we discovered that it was the Grey Dagger caterpillar.

We thought that this very hairy caterpillar would grow into an exotic butterfly but we discovered that it was the caterpillar of the Buff Ermine Moth.
