Peacharine Moth Caterpillar is a soft white caterpillar characterized by a showy pattern of long-haired yellow rings along its body. It lives in the Peacharine tree, a tree created by cross-pollination between peach and nectarine trees. Peacharine Moth Caterpillars hatch in small numbers and because of this are generally not harmful to the tree. They nibble away on the leaves of the Peacharine tree, steering clear of the fruit. At maturation they spin a spherical cocoon from which they will emerge as a fuzzy pinkish-orange moth.

OK, Folks. There are 26 images in this posting. Please bear with me on this. I wanted to get them all up at one time, so that my friends in the ICPS (International Carnivorous Plant Society) could view them as a set.
Backstory: We made a weekend trip to the Francis Marion National Forest in Berkeley County, South Carolina. I had previously seen some wonderful hybrid pitcher plants (Sarracenia) in bloom around this date for the past few years. However, the forest managers had recently burned the area (prescribed burn) to rid the grassy savannahs of fast-growing woody shrubs which are in direct competition with the carnivorous plants and orchids in the national forest.
I have to say that it was a raving success! This year's crop of unusual hybrid pitcher plant flowers outdid previous years by a long shot!
The star of the show is Sarracenia Xrehderi, which is a cross between Sarracenia minor (hooded pitcher plant) and Sarracenia rubra variety rubra (sweet pitcher plant). Sarracenia minor always has bright yellow flowers, while Sarracenia rubra variety rubra always has dark red flowers. So, you can well imagine the variation in the color of the flowers of the result of the cross pollination. I believe I have even photographed some that neither you nor I imagined!
This is one fantastic site, and I'm grateful that the management of this particular location is keeping on top of the condition of the wide variety of plants in the forest. They do a fantastic job with little thanks from the public...

Dusky-spined Opuntia growing outdoors in Michigan rock garden. Previously labeled as OPh(E).
Opuntia con espinas oscuras. Se crece este cacto en el jardín de rocas en Michigan.
Ref no. a34b76fe-0db6-4373-8806-2052762cf0ac.
Seeds extracted after having been left too long in the fruit. Hopefully some are still viable.
The flower of the O. humifusa I manually pollinated with pollen from the O. phaeacantha. This yielded the largest fruit of all the fruits on my O. humifusa.

A seed saving exercise gone wrong. In the green fruit stage of the plant the fruits are pear-shaped but as they mature they go all over the shape range. One can see some 'San Marzano', 'Roma' and all sort of other parentage in the fruit shape. Obviously some cross pollination has occured and we have lost our original unique "cultivar" (this may not be the correct word). The fruits were still excellent tomato sauce ingredients. One could argue that the loss is only cosmetic but in the field we are also losing earliness and productivity as well. "Back to the drawing board" ... but it's not as simple as that is it?
By the way this is not a mini pear such as the 'Yellow Pear', 'Red Pear' or 'Japanese Black Pear' but a normal size pear-shaped tomato (the diner plate gives an idea of the size).

I didn't plant one of these sunflowers. Not one. Each year the pumpkin patch becomes one giant field of sunflowers that I need to till rows into to keep some sense of order here.
Between the cutworms and severe drought, the pumpkins are so behind that these sunflowers became a silver lining to focus on.
