gizmo the panda's thumb

gizmo the panda's thumb

Post under , at Thursday, August 13, 2009 Posted by ~healthybratt


the kids found another caterpillar out by the walnut tree. he's really quite beautiful with his "lashes". called halysidota tessellaris, banded tussock moth [caterpillar], and the panda's thumb, this little guy feeds on several of the local trees including walnut. we think maybe he fell or was knocked from our walnut tree, because the kids found him stuck to this blade of grass. we've decided to raise him like we did the monarch tiger. the kids are very excited and i was just thrilled with my new camera as this pic is so much clearer and more detailed than the pics i took last time.

disclaimer:  caution must be taken when reading my blog.  i'm a new creature and the Lord continues to mold and shape me through his will.  older entries may seem to contradict the newer ones.  there's a pretty good chance that they do for two reasons.  first, because of my nature, as i strive for perfection, i will continue to fall short of the mark and should therefore be thankful for his grace and should seek his (and your) forgiveness for having been so foolish in the past.   second, i continue to grow in him; and as changes are made, i have made attempts to change my blog to reflect those changes. in this event, please refer to #1.   if you're interested in perfection, my blog isn't the place to be.  pick up a king james bible (yup, i'm one of THOSE people) and read his PERFECT word.
