Words :vivaldi_blue:They're multiplying! At first we thought it was one, then two. Now it's at least four and maybe more. I'm talking 'elephant hawk moth caterpillars' which seem to have proliferated in the garden this year. They are large (about 3 inches long) and you can see from the solo photo here a little bit of how they get their name. They're feeding on willow herb. The moths that emerge (won't be until next year) are a beautiful pink and yellow. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/caterpillar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#caterpillar</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moths</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Mothstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mothstodon</a>

Bryan WrightI was looking at some tiny Erigeron daisies when I noticed a little speck of detritus in the center of one. The speck was brown and had bits of daisy-petal stuck to it. It turned out to be a minuscule emerald moth caterpillar (Synchlora)!These fellows nip off bits of the flowers they're browsing and stick the bits onto themselves for camouflage. I found a very sweet story about an enterprising cousin of this caterpillar:<a href="https://blog.nature.org/2023/05/08/the-camouflaged-looper-this-inchworm-makes-its-own-flower-costume/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.nature.org/2023/05/08/the-camouflaged-looper-this-inchworm-makes-its-own-flower-costume/</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moths</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/lepidoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lepidoptera</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mothstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mothstodon</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a>
