STRIPPERS!!

I have a confession to make

I'm baptist, we always sit in the back of the forums

No...ahem...I stated that these guys (Red Humped Caterpillars) were on a Persimmon tree in a previous post, well they are not, they are on a Hickory tree. There I said it, I feel better now.

I could not help but to visit them again at luch time to see what they were up to. As you can see they are completely stripping these Hickory leaves. Kind of reminds me of going out with the family to Ryans or some other buffet resteraunt.

Thanks Doug, Nikola!

What am I thinking?...hmmm...people at work wonder the same thing when I am out in that field wallowing around on the ground with my camera at lunch time.

Nice images. I like the cats, but they sure do their damage on my plants.

yea, they are cute. I usually let them eat the plant. I can get another plant.
