Across the street from Grandma is an overgrown field which a great place to find butterflies. Dad took a walk with me - he was looking for wood to use in his new woodworking hobby - while I searched for butterflies and caterpillars.

Dad and I had both seen a Spicebush ST fly around the house. I wasn't sure what they used as a host plant besides Spicebush and camphor (which doesn't grow up there, I'm pretty sure). I got out my book and the lightbulb went on - sassafrass!

Dad just laughed at me when I asked if there was sassafrass around that he could show me. I got to looking and there they were - Spicebush cats!
