Friday afternoon. Come spend some time with a Swallowtail caterpillar as it feeds on some Golden Alexander. Your Friday Prairie Zen. Enjoy!

Really strange to have 3 different species of #caterpillars in October in NorCal; #monarchs overwinter in adult (butterfly) form; #anise and #pipevine swallowtails overwinter in chrysalis form…

Climate is bonkers

View of fingers and green plants and three different caterpillars - black with orange spikes, black with white in center, and yellow/black and white striped

I have new pets. They're adorable! #pets #cute #caterpillars

A tangle of 20 plus large silkworms. They are creamy coloured with pale blue stripes and cute tiny faces. They have a little spike at the end of their bodies. They are consuming mulberry leaves at an alarming rate.

October 3, 2026; our two chrysalis still green. The caterpillars pictures are from September 9.
I hope they eclosed soon. The temperature here in Delaware is going to be in the 50s overnight next week. #Caterpillars

LOOK AT HIM!

caterpillars of a wide array of #nativemoths.

All are widely available, low-maintenance, & provide #shade & #shelter from heatwaves as well as #food for #caterpillars and #adults. Their deep roots & dense structure also help them cope with dry conditions once established.

We attended the screening of the Extraordinary Caterpillar 🐛 last night at the AFI Silver hosted by @montgomeryparks and @caseytrees followed by a panel discussion and caterpillar pass around #gardendc #caterpillars #insects #homegrownnationalpark

Pleased to see lots of Flutterbys and Caterpillars out today.

Just saw this beautiful, huge caterpillar in Cheddar Gorge.

At first I thought it was an elephant hawk-moth caterpillar, but it doesn't have the eye marks and it's got a cool striped "head". Is it a convolvulus hawk-moth?

These are Unexpected Cycnia Moths on the milkweed, and it's true that I wasn't expecting them. #nativeplants #insects #caterpillars #gardening 🌱

Two orange caterpillars covered in tufts of thick gray hair feed on leaves of Asclepias tuberosa. Half a firewheel flower, Gaillardia pullchella, is at the bottom of the frame. Cycnia collaris or inopinatus.

A closeup of the head of an Unexpected Cycnia moth caterpillar, which looks like two shiny burnt orange oval head capsules with the mouth at the bottom.

Io moth caterpillar. I think this one is looking for a place to pupate because they eat tree leaves and it's checking out the Standing Cypress. The spines are venomous. #caterpillars #insects 🌱 #gardening #lepidoptera

A fat lime-green caterpillar with many branching thistle-like spines that are larger and denser on the head end, and long narrow stripes of red and white down each side, Automeris io. It is on the ground about to climb on the leaves of a Standing Cypress plant. There is a boneset seed clinging to its side.This caterpillar eats oaks, redbuds, hackberries, plums, and lots of other common trees and shrubs, and the moth is very pretty.

The Gulf fritillary caterpillars have returned for another year! They’re going to eat this passion vine to the ground but I’m happy I can provide them food!
