Right time. Right place. That's what happened to me awhile ago. I took a photo of a bordered patch (Chlosyne lacinia) caterpillar, then a few minutes later noticed something different about it. That's when I realized what was underway! I switched my point-and-shoot to video and did the best I could at capturing the process....What a miracle to witness!

Wow! Talk about in the right place at the right time. 😊
How neat to capture that on video! Hmmm, wondering if that is a real stick below the caterpillar? ... :-)
Ragna, now you got me looking at that stick!! LOL!
