We were out doing school on our deck when our little neighbour friend called over to us “I know you’re doing school and I’m sorry to interrupt you, but you have to come see this very cool caterpillar!” Knowing an important reason to pause a lesson when we see one, we ran right over. Our two families observed him for probably half an hour, being careful to stay away from his spikey, prickly fur.

The bonus is that they have a glass patio table, so we got to see this little guy in all of his flashy glory. He certainly has a flair for the dramatic! Such attitude! (Swipe through to see it!)

We think it’s a Banded Tussock Moth caterpillar. Have you seen one of these before?
