Duh...can you believe the back fields at the ranch are full of cudweed?! I had no idea what that plant was until today (well, okay, it's after midnight...so make that Saturday). I couldn't find the plant in my native plant guide but remember MissSherry post about cudweed and the caterpillar nests (at least I think it was MissSherry who posted that).

Anyway...I saw the proverbial nest and took a peek! It was a Painted Lady caterpillar!!! Woohoo!!! I found several others once I got the hang of it. Won't tell you how many times I yelped when a spider jumped out!!! I think I have leared to tell the difference between a caterpillar nest and a spider nest through lots of trial and error :o)
