    He’s very cute but I made sure not to touch him. I used leaves and an abandoned piece of paper to pick him up and transport him. I know that some caterpillars spit and cause itchy welts so I wasn’t going to take the chance. He really was rather teenie and I had never seen one so close up before.

    What an incredible critter. And an amazing photo too. Did this take much encouragement to get your critter into position? Lovely composition.
