Caterpillar

Caterpillar of Lophocampa Caryae

I found this creature on the sandbar willow.  It seemed inanimate, probably from the cool air over night.  It was damp with dew.

I went through my entire caterpillar book and did not find it so I submitted it to bugguide.net.

The answer seems to be that it is Lophocampa caryae "missing its black fore and aft lashes"  Thanks to  jim sogaard.

 I did not know there could be one missing the black lashes so I did not find it.

Shark Tooth

Shark Tooth

Shark teeth are readily available at rock shows where I purchased this one in a bag of several.  Apparently sharks shed their teeth and regrow new ones many times during their lifetime. I think this would be a good area of research so that people could learn to do the same.

According to Wikipedia, they are of different shapes based on the needs of the shark.  I think this one may be what is called a needle like tooth.

Appalachian Brown Butterfly

Appalachian Brown Butterfly

Jan Swartz notified me about this and some other insects she had spotted and photographed.  This kind of butterfly is extremely difficult to photograph because it is secretive.

Rotting Fruit

I read that you can bait them with rotting fruit but I was unsuccessful.  I put it out early one morning, came back later to find nothing except the fruit.  The fruit was gone the next morning.
