A caterpillar eating my goji plant leaves!

On Friday, Wifey let me know she saw a neat-looking caterpillar out on one of the goji plants.  She said it was so neat that I should get pictures for the blog.  I didn't get around to it that day, but went back yesterday.  It took me a minute to find him, but then I found he'd been munching on some of the leaves!  For that he paid the ultimate (green, gooey) price.

I did get a few pictures of him before  I gooshed him, though.  He was neat looking.

After doing a little digging this morning, I've determined he's a White Marked Tussock Moth larvae.

Correction.  He was a White Marked Tussock Moth larvae.  Now he's a green smear in a paper towel.
