Field Notes

Description:

green, almost translucent, white dots and bars dorsally, brite green head

Habitat:

Feeding on cinquefoile leaves on a multispecies lawn, dozens are rapelling out of the trees over the last few weeks on silken threads and landing on the ground and running about apparently hungry and looking for leaves to munch.

Notes:

Lots of caterpillars of moths have green translucent white spotted and striped patterns.
