Zoe and Austyn came inside with a caterpillar they found on the ground. Without telling me where they found it, I went to work trying to identify the insect. After asking them where they found it I realized that just above that spot on that windy day there was a nest of them. These are Tent Caterpillars. I showed the kids and they picked up more of them to play with.
This one is Austyn's caterpillar. We talked about what they eat and he had me pick a leaf from the tree that we found them on.
Here is Zoe with her caterpillar. It's very ticklish!
