The Buck-moth stops here.

This guy found his way to the lily to bask in the pollen. Actually, that is not what catepillars do we just placed him here so that we could get some great colors and show off his spikes. We gave him a piece of lettuce for his time and set him on his way after about an hour. Hopefully we will get a shot of him after he's undressed.

The Buckmoth stops here

This Buck Moth Caterpillar was just hanging around, eating some leaves, enjoying it's day until we scooped it up and trapped it in some tupperware. We put it on this big, blue hydrangea and made the picture that you see here. We know it's not as romantic as just coming upon it in the forest & capturing it in just the right light but he was so interesting that we just had to get a good shot. We took him back to the place that we found him the next day (that is the romantic part).
