Fibonacci-ish

As cute as this introduced species is, in Ontario they are regarded as a pest species of hay and pastures. Adult skippers feed on nectar only, and lay strings of arbout 30 eggs on host plants. Eggs overwinter and emerge the next spring. The caterpillars start eating at the top of the plant and work their way down the stem. A 3-image, handheld focus stack.
