Caterpillars

We frequently find furry caterpillars with red heads and legs around our block, on a few different plants, but have never been able to get anyone to identify what species they might be. So this is an attempt to find out:


Several caterpillars are now living in captivity in this box. If they successful pupate, we will find out what they turn into.

Clever. I did a similar thing with a Grade 1 class and successfully pupated some Cup Moth caterpillars. It was a great experience for all.
