Only one photo because, I pulled the weed toward me to get a good photo, I let it go by accident and the caterpillar went flying. I would love to hear of other funny stories of "stupid things" we do trying to get a photo. (Like kneeling on a bee to get the greatest new spider and suffering thru the photo shoot. Me Again! HA!)
