Well, I'm glad that the Emperor Moth is not here to eat my blueberry leaves. The plants are full of fruit right now and I am sharing them with a pair of Cardinals that pluck them off the minute they begin to ripen. Although, I guess I would share the leaves with that awesome caterpillar. Is the moth good looking?

Thank you! This caterpillar is very rare find here so i'm very exited to spot it.

I love blueberries! But its really hard to find in here, there is only a small town near Bogota that grow them, so its also very expensive.
