America's top retailers and manufacturers are getting long-awaited tariff refunds, but for some of the hardest-hit companies, the relief is fleeting. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/09/09/companies/nike-starbucks-tariff-stocks/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #nike #starbucks #canada #us #donaldtrump #republicans #trade #tariffs #target #walmart #caterpillar

A Milkweed tussock moth caterpillar. Found on some native plants!

My best-guess ID for this #caterpillar, encountered yesterday afternoon on the sidewalk, is the Yellow Woolly Bear, larva of the Virginia Tiger Moth (Spilosoma virginica). This is based on the lazy method of asking AI to identify the photo, plus looking it up in an actual book, my trusty Peterson's Field Guide to the #Moths by Beadle and Leckie (2012 edition).

All 5 Black Swallowtail caterpillars have now formed chrysalids. Oddly enough, the final caterpillar decided to position itself right in between two existing chrysalids, a tight squeeze. And the upper chrysalis shown here is slightly larger than the other two; possibly a female?

Caterpillar is bringing to AI deployment what it learned from automating mining
Caterpillar has spent decades putting autonomous machines to work at remote mining sites. It’s now bringing that experience to AI deployment.

A Monarch #butterfly #caterpillar that had been on some Milkweed in the back yard. It's now on the ground next to the Milkweed plants. Is it crawling off to form a chrysalis?

On the #DailyWalk, I checked out a few different Swamp Milkweed plants that I had noticed in bloom a few weeks ago.
It looks like deer have chomped the young seedpods. Definitely not good for increasing the number of plants.
On the good side, I found another monarch caterpillar.

Another interesting garden find. This morning we came across a hornworm caterpillar covered in parasitic wasp cocoons. Unfortunately this eventually kills the caterpillar but the wasp are beneficial to the ecosystem killing pest bugs. Just nature being nature which I find pretty cool, and a bit brutal.
Have an awesome Saturday!

Monarch #Caterpillar
I actually started this a couple of months ago, but then stalled out on the flower buds, feeling both bored and intimidated by them.
finally got inspired to finish during this recent drawing hyperfocus. -
Four out of the 5 Black Swallowtail caterpillars have either formed or are in the process of forming chrysalids. In the photo the upper caterpillar has assumed the characteristic J shape prior to becoming a chrysalis, and the bottom one has completed forming the chrysalis.

On today’s #DailyWalk, I took along the loppers and a handsaw. Part of my trail system goes across an area that’s often too soggy to mow, and that area needed some clearing before I can go through again with the tractor/mower.
Anyway, there’s swamp milkweed in the swampy area 🤔🤠 And on one plant I found a monarch butterfly caterpillar.

We now have 5 Black Swallowtail caterpillars on the garden Fennel. We collected them and have sacrificed more Fennel so that the cats (to use the cool/nerdy lepidopterist's slang for caterpillars) are now ensconced in a luxurious cage for observation. We thus hope to guide them on their journey to butterfly-hood.

I don't think I've ever seen them before. They were all over nettles in one small area.
EDIT: Peacock butterfy, Aglais io. Great thanks to @harrysentonbury for identifying them.

A morning at the farm store 👩🏽🌾
Going to the local farm store has become one of our favorite things to do this summer.
We’ve been going biweekly to look at the flowers (and sometimes buy flowers 🌸😆), get fresh baked goods, and checkout any new products.
The kids love it because I always buy them lollipops. 🍭😅
In May, I bought some of our fruit and vegetable starts at the farm store.
I must say, I am very pleased with the plants we got because they have been growing so well in our little gardens. 😍🌱
On this particular day, we bought a dozen cinnamon sugar donuts 🍩 (for only $8!), deli meat and sub rolls for lunch 🥪, lollipops for the kids 🍭, a hanging flower basket for the front porch 💐, and fresh parsley for the swallowtail caterpillar we’re “raising” 🐛.
Zaya picking out lollipops at the farn store. 🍭🥰A few weeks ago, we found a butterfly egg on our garden parsley. Since then, we have been caring for the swallowtail caterpillar.
But I’ll share more on that story in a different post. 😉🐛🦋
Fresh parsley for Cali the caterpillar 🌿🐛Cali loves the parsley! 🥰🐛🌿I was good, and I only bought three plants this time 😆🪴: flowers for the porch, onion starts, and more parsley for the caterpillar (because I didn’t want it to eat all of the small parsley plant I had in my grow bag).
💜 XO
The kids loved harvesting a few green beans, banana peppers, and basil. 🥰
by JennJuly 2, 2026July 3, 2026Tough day 😏, so let’s enjoy some flowers 💐
Sometimes you really do have to stop and enjoy the flowers. 😌🌸
by JennJuly 1, 2026It’s “payday” for the kids, so I took them out for a fun day of shopping. 💰🛍

I went for a walk yesterday in Zeeland and saw LOTS of caterpillars on the road at a certain point. Luckily there was little to no car traffic there. Most were black with spikes, those will become peacock butterflies (Aglais io, 🇳🇱 dagpauwoog). But I also saw a HUGE green one of the hawk-moth (Agrius convolvuli, 🇳🇱 windepijlstaart). Apparently those are rare in NL.

A new to me Caterpillar found on a Buttonbush. Seems to be a Buttonbush Sawfly Larva (maybe Eriocampini Pseudosiobla).

Here are a few #horsetail plants, seen on my walk #today (yesterday, actually).
Plus a wandering "woolly bear" (#TigerMoth) #caterpillar.
Horsetails are 150 million-year-old living fossils that were eaten by - yes! - Jurassic #dinosaurs.
Also, their unique node spacing inspired #JohnNapier in 1614 to invent #logarithms.
Admittedly, some rude US jurisdictions (wtf Oregon...?) classify them as noxious weeds.
But imho this is an amazing plant with a wonderful résumé 💚
