I had just got back from my morning walk and was sitting outside at the table enjoying a cup of coffee when I noticed something on Sher’s bike.
I have never seen a caterpillar quite like this one before. Not sure why it liked the soft plastic handlebar grips on the bike.
We are back on the road again enjoying a few days at this very nice park that is part of the Thousand Trails system. The weather is just delightful today. It was cool this morning and the temps now at mid day are in the low 70s. It is so nice that the heat has finally broken and there is a hint of fall in the air.
I did some quick research, it looks like a White-Marked Tussock. It doesn’t sting like some can, but the hairs can cause irritation. Link: https://www.leafyplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/White-Marked-Tussock-Caterpillar-1.jpg
