Live oak tree.
Whitish-gray wooly caterpillar. Picture was taken while the caterpillar was descending a live oak. I took the picture in the courtyard of my apartment complex in the Medical Center in Houston.
Welcome to Project Noah indeed! This hairy little critter is the larval form of the Southern Flannel Moth. The caterpillars can give a painful sting so be cautious about handling them! They are very cool. Nice way to start here!
Welcome to Project Noah, ReidPowell
I hope you like the site as much we do; there are many features you can explore:
I invite you to go to http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you will find the purpose and “rules” of Project Noah.
There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms.
There are also the chats for help with identification, and to comment on your own and others’ spottings.
Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions
Enjoy yourself here, see you around!
