| This one was in the raspberry, I don't think I have seen one like this before. The black is like our black Salamander color.
It would be nice if you can I.D. them.
This one is feeding on Saskatoon leafs. |

We found a White-marked Tussock Moth caterpillar today - it fell out of an ash tree into our picnic so we brought it home to hopefully pupate. I'm using my mesh cold-frame with ash boughs in it and the caterpillar is eating so that's a good sign. :0)  |
