Mike’s Observations: This caterpillar first appeared dried up and dead. I noticed it after I started pulling out the vine growing on my brick facade of the house. Came back a little while later, and it was gone. I saw all the leaves had been eaten on the vine, and this caterpillar had turned from dried green to peach pink as it roamed for food. We gave it some camouflage and some leaves, but we’ll see if it can survive after I uprooted the vine it was initially dining on. The kids have been fascinated by this.
