unidentified caterpillar commented on by Linda Raber West Virginia, USA10 years ago

Hi ForestDragon,

Thanks for the info. You may be on to something. The larva I photographed was a beautiful turquoise with black spots; the one in the first link was greener. I know there can be quite a bit of variation in color within a species, however. "My" larva was shorter and fatter than the one in the first link. Thanks for the lead!

Thanks KarenL and J. I'll have to find out what missions are first.

British Soldier Lichen commented on by Linda Raber New York, USA10 years ago

The photo here is Cladonia cristatella, British soldier lichen. I don't think it's the same as cup lichen, which I believe is Cladonia fimbriata. We have a lot of both in our yard. I think I can get pics of them together along with some others in the same genus, if you like.
