Nymphalis antiopa
I found this skinny little caterpillar munching its way around Pineview
Reservoir. The next blurry shot shows the orange legs. © Carol Davis 6-16-2012
While this little guy (or gal) was a bit on the thin side, the one below was fit and fat
as a cello because it had been stuffing itself a little longer. The colors are
more vivid as well since it was out in the open. © Carol Davis 6-16-2012
