Doug and the kids came across this crazy-looking caterpillar this afternoon. After checking him out for a while and doing a little research, I learned that it is a Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillar in its final larval stage - ready to pupate. So we're keeping it until it becomes a butterfly. I just love to watch nature in action! And if I can't find any Monarchs, I'll find something else! :)
