This little gal/guy literally dropped down from the sky! Bob T noticed her/him dangling on a thread from a branch at least thirty feet above our heads on the Bear Valley Trail this morning. How a caterpillar, less than 1 cm in length, produce enough thread for a drop like that, is beyond me. We gently usher the little gal/guy onto a leaf, and this is when she/he began these gyrations for the camera. Once again my guidebooks left me in the lurch. And I don't even know whether caterpillars are gender-specific.
