Especially approriate with the Insect Afternoon walk today, Craig Burnett sent me some great shots of some more of the critters living in the woodland area:
Centrotus cornutus - the Horned Treehopper. A groovy sapsucker with horny protrusions that are meant to resemble plant thorns. Look more like cats ears to me!
Emperor Moth caterpillar - almost fully grown
Peacock Butterfly caterpillar. Very spikey!
Will let you know what we find this afternoon!
