| Lunata Zale Caterpillar |
One morning, recently, I finished my walk at Gorman Nature Center and began to stow my gear. I found this guy on the camera bag. I was unsure where I had picked up the hitch hiker. I carry a butterfly tent in my truck, so I put him in and brought him home. His life depended on my identifying him and getting him the appropriate food. Caterpillars eat only "host plant" food, usually leaves. I photographed him using a technique that Dave Fitzsimmons uses to see if I could do it. I am pretty certain of my ID but I think that it was too late to save his life. He would have died in the parking lot anyway without his host plant.
