So today I headed out to hike and hopefully find some more caterpillars to share with the kids. I work for the county, and I saw on our website they would be doing a controlled burn the other day. Sure enough, much of the land was charred. This was great for me though because I had access to many areas where before there was too much vegetation to walk through. Most of the pawpaws seemed unphased, but I saw a few that were a little charred from the heat. I felt sad when I thought about the caterpillars that may have been barbecued. I stopped to look at one of the singed pawpaws, and lo and behold - there was a caterpillar! A big one, too! I circled him in blue in the picture; I hope you can see him.
