Yeah, another podcast episode that is on soon to be played list! Because I do find those fall webworms to be ugly!
Anyway, I don’t listen to the field guides very often, they are very much an only listen to when I topic is particularly intriguing. -

The #moth #Eilema #caniola (#Arctiinae, #Erebidae), a #species that thrives in warm conditions, was originally distributed from Northwest Africa through Southern and Central #Europe to Western Asia; however, it is increasingly #expanding its #range #northward due to #globalwarming and has been appearing in #Berlin for about six or seven years. The #caterpillars feed on #saxicolous and #terricolous #lichens.

The #BarredSallow #Tiliacea #aurago (#Noctuidae, #Lepidoptera) is widespread in #Europe. The #caterpillars feed on European #beech, #hornbeam, and #oaks, as well as bilberry. Unlike other Noctuidae, the moths emerge in late summer and fly in the #autumn. The eggs overwinter. B. Benedek & J. Babics (2016) #taxonomically #revised the #genus Tiliacea.

Nature is pretty crazy. Today I discovered a giant green caterpillar on my tomato plant. It was covered in what looked like ovoid white eggs. My research suggests this is a Tomato Hornworm already found by its predator, a wasp whose hatchlings will consume it.
I am leaving them alone to fight it out.

First and so far only monarch I've seen this year, of any stage. They'd already eaten everything off the stem they were on so I moved 'em to another one. Good luck li'l critter

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).

Life is hard some days, but hang in there like this gravity-defying monarch caterpillar. Better days and beautiful changes ahead.

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?

Nothing here but us weird mushrooms… erm, us grass urchins… how about us Everlasting Gobstoppers?
Nothing to see here. Please move along.
(Psst… I’m really a curled up Woolly Bear caterpillar. Tee-hee.)

This was a real treat to see in Bismarck, North Dakota, this afternoon — a cecropia caterpillar coming back from its Sephora makeup appointment. Nice tubercles, buddy! It made it off the sidewalk and was heading to a willow tree with day lilies and grass to munch on along the way. If all goes well, it will eventually cocoon up for the winter and emerge as North America’s largest moth. (Hyalophora cecropia)
