as was foreseen, i managed to find a Charaxes jasius caterpillar as soon as the cold weather started. what wasn't foreseen was the absolutely sorry state i'd find it in. what happened to you, guy?

this is encouraging regardless, as it means there are probably others somewhere on the couple dozen strawberry trees near me. time to check every single one every day until i find a caterpillar that hasn't been pickled by unknown forces

#they are so cute and shaped!! #love the little guys #caterpillars

#I love these guys sm #I’m glad i could be an inspiration to touch it even if you couldn’t feel the softness #maybe it was too soft and velvety lol #caterpillars

the last photo I took of this guy from October '22........ I was hoping to see him get cocoon'd or whatever, but I couldn't find him again.

#SO CUTE!!! #I recommend to anyone finding one of these to gently pet it #they are velvety and super soft #possibly one of the softest caterpillars I’ve ever felt #caterpillars

The way is perilous; take this for your (emotional) protection

(I love tersa sphynx moths, & the caterpillars are lovely wingless airliners)

This lump was roaming the hot sand on a service trail, and I relocated it to a greener place.
