We looked around, didn't see it, and then suddenly it appeared. We were watching him, and then saw another. And another. And another until we had a count of FIVE caterpillars inching along in the grass and towards the park district garage. WEIRD.<br /><br />I think they are American Dagger Moth caterpillars, from a quick search online. One of them excreted some strange bright green jelly-like substance - poo? chrysallis? - and then started to nibble on it. We felt somewhat disgusted, but didn't know if we should be or not.<br /><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_qYmPC6VW4fo/SId1opkwm7I/AAAAAAAAA7g/lbzQj7C5LH0/s1600-h/Charmoth.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_qYmPC6VW4fo/SId1opkwm7I/AAAAAAAAA7g/lbzQj7C5LH0/s320/Charmoth.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226275233802001330" /></a>Amy Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13864770312360226508noreply@blogger.com
