We stopped by a wildlife garden recently and were told that a hummingbird was in the area. While waiting for it to appear (never saw it) I saw this phoebe and took several shots. I was also told the phoebe had a nest nearby (which I never spotted), so I imagine the caterpillar was for its chicks.

Nice catch, Belinda! One to the first migrants to arrive in spring, eastern phoebes are a favorite. There is a pair that nests on a ledge in one of our sheds. I think they are on brood #2!

Many caterpillars are very destructive but I was hoping this one wasn’t a would be butterfly.

I forgot about that. We get mostly the destructive kind of moths and butterflies, and only a few few beautiful ones.
