I hope that, with this picture, I'll get insects out of my mind for a few days and move on to bigger things. Do note the yellow pollen on the bee's body. No other comments on today's presentation!
But I do want to tell you that I woke up at 3 o'clock this morning with yesterday's caterpillar before my eyes. And suddenly I knew that, of course, it was an inch-worm! Duh! Then I was able to go back to sleep.
This morning I consulted the Internet! Inchworms are the name for the larvae of moths of the family Geometridae. Also called measuring worms, spanworms, and loopers, they lack appendages in the middle portion of their body, causing them to have a characteristic looping gait, which gives them the name.
