Daily Photo: Massive Caterpillar

Our organic lawn is looking pretty good. I don't mind telling you that I've poured some sweat into it!


There is quite a bit of activity in the garden these days. We had a lot of rain in late Spring, so we are seeing a lot of beetles of all types, grasshoppers, moths and butterflies.


Today we found this large caterpillar in our backyard. When rolled up in a ball it seems to have red stripes. I searched the web and found this picture, identifying it as a Leopard moth.



I have never seen a caterpillar move so quickly!
