Field Notes

Description:

A rather adorable little caterpillar, inching along, minding its own business. I really hope it wasn't crushed by a drunken college student after I left.

Habitat:

The sidewalk in front of my dorm, apparently.

Notes:

I wanted to pick it up and put it back among the foliage, but I was afraid of its spiky bits...
