My friend Matt and I stepped out the Cherokee Marsh this afternoon for a self-imposed Macro challenge this month. Late afternoon, overcast to mostly cloudy, actually rather nice shooting in woods. except matt found a tick. nasty. Anyway, even had my son along. This here is the Eastern Tent Caterpillar. An icky little bugger that makes those tents in trees. “They” say it’s not the worst for the tree, it’ll recover, but still. icky. Grows up to be a pretty caterpillar (ugly brown moth though!).
