RHH's photos with the keyword: caterpillar

During the holidays, my son-in-law who was visiting, my youngest son and I went out to do some photography. Since our time was limited we went to a place in the foothills of the North Cascades about a half hour away where we had seen and photographed a yard full of old vehicles and machinery. The place is not a junkyard, but appears to be private land on which a quite a number of these old vehicles are displayed without any attempt being made to protect them from the elements. The vehicles include old cars and trucks as well as old tractors, old logging and construction equipment, including an old steam shovel, old bulldozers and caterpillars, and old farm equipment. We would have asked permission but there seemed to be no one about and no one said anything about our being there and taking pictures, so we snapped away, though the day was a bit wet and gray. These are some of the pictures we took that afternoon. More pictures here: ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/01/derelict-ma...

This is another photo taken in Turkey Run State Park in Indiana. J.P Everett has tentatively identified it as the larva of the Spotted Apatelodes moth. I had never seen anything like it and was not even sure if I should touch it (and didn't) for fear that the hairs might be poisonous or something like that. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/11/turkey-run-...
