Wow, this is a great macro! #8177144Carolyn M. Fletcher November 29, 2009
Aren't they just the cutest?? I have a backyard full of sasafrass trees and they feed on those, so I get to see them just before they coccoon themselves..they are all yellow at that point. I have 2 that have coccooned themselves over the top of my back door. I just adore them..So much fun to stick them in flowers or whatever. I never have seen one while it was still green...until now..Thanks! #8177322Ruth Grimm November 29, 2009
