Field Notes

Description:

The light colored caterpillar is the larva of the Dorantes Skipper. The caterpillar on the lower left is the larva of the Long Tailed Skipper. These can be found side by side on plants in the Fabaceae family, rolling leaves into tiny shelters and happily decimating your beans.
