We found hundreds of these stinging green caterpillars in neighborhoods like St. Bernard Parish that that were badly flooded by Katrina last year. Can you guess what they are from the photos on Dr. Dyer's Caterpillars of Louisiana web site?
Wendy and Suzanne are putting the caterpillars into numbered plastic bags with lots of the leaves from the plants they were eating. The baggies will go back to the lab, and the caterpillars will be fed, reared, and catalogued.
