I'm Just a Pine Needle! Pt. 3 - _TNY_0965
A pine looper caterpillar (Bupaulus piniaria), also known as the bordered white climbing around among some actual pine needles which makes for a great comparison where we can see how good it mimics the needles.
I found this one like this on a white board, but after taking a photo, I moved it to a small pine instead which made for a nice background - and the caterpillar probably liked it better. Photo here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52595606147/
