Okay, I have a search-and-find for photo for you. Do you see anything that doesn’t belong in the photo above? Look hard. I just happened to spot it when I was in the back yard, bug hunting for the 2026 Texas Pollinator Bioblitz (which runs through November 1). So do you see it yet?
The next photo zeroes in on the critter…..see it?
What I spotted was a caterpillar well camouflaged with bits of plateau goldeneye flowers that it’d stuck on itself. Cool, eh? I believe this was a species that’s part of wavy-lined and southern emeralds (Complex Syncholora aerata). Here’s a photo of a caterpillar similar to mine. Isn’t nature just so amazing?
