Don’t miss the little things when you are out in nature. Little things in nature can be so cute, like this Banded Tussock moth caterpillar (Halysidota tessellaris). They look like tiny Yorkshire Terriers to me. Cute as they are though, don’t pick one up. Their furry coat can cause an itchy rash that will last a couple hours, or perhaps even a couple days.

I discovered this one on my watering can handle today. Normally you’ll find them eating the leaves of Oak, Ash, Birch, Willow, Poplar, Walnut, and Grape.

Little things in nature, worth looking for!
