Another lovely caterpillar!
Great spot Carol!
Wonderful series!
Beautiful caterpillar and great shots
I love this caterpillar. I can't find another yellow asteroid anywhere thru internet searches. It was still there today in all the rain. Likes to pose for the camera. A real show off. HA!
So cute and yellow!
Fantastic photos!
