Wordless Wednesday-Aha! I took a bite out of you

White Caterpillar

I took labor Day literally and although it was a bad allergy day, I grabbed my hedge trimmer, rakes and other outdoor tools and went to work.

After hours of trimming, mowing, and raking it was time to pull the debris into the woods.  I grabbed the wheel barrow and headed down the hill towards the woods.  The path to my compost heap was a bit overgrown and the needles on some of this branches made me stop and pulled out a trimmer to clear the path.  While doing that I ran across this white caterpillar, so of course I ran back to the house for the camera.

He seemed so confident and I think he said to the leaves Aha! I took a bite out of you. I guess it was a labor day for him too.

Great picture.  I don't know if that little guy was having a relaxing labor day

He is so cute and fuzzy.  A bite of that leaf to him, is like a bite of the most succulent burger to us.  He deserves a little treat from time to time :)

Yvette it sure looks that way.

Stan looks like he was rather busy.

Fiana I suspect that is true.

Good Morning Jennifer,

Thanks for the post. He's a cute guy. Very nice shot. Have a great day.

That is one strange looking creature, I've never seen a white bug like that.  I haven't done yard work in quite awhile, good for you for doing it on Labor Day.

Posted by Morgan Evans-New York City Real Estate Expert (Prudential Douglas Elliman) over 1 year ago

Jennifer, I have had days that I felt like that leaf, and that a bite was taken out of me .......... LOL

Jennifer  This begs the question - Why wasn;t Mr. Fivelsdal operatong the wheelbarrow?  :(  Almost sounds like my husband

Hi Jennifer.  I've never seen a white one and he looks snow-white.  When you're finished raking up, would you consider doing my yard?

Aloha & Best Wishes, Richard

I haven't seen a white caterpillar like that either - but he's good-looking enough to forgive for the leaf munching!

Posted by Nancy Conner - Olympia/Thurston County WA (Managing Broker - City Realty Inc) over 1 year ago

Jennifer,

Wow, that is some appetite for that little fella. Hope it's a great butterfly. :)
