"Although the butterfly and the caterpillar are completely different, they are one and the same." (Kendrick Lamar) I think this caterpillar was headed to a leaf at the end of this branch to curl the leaf around itself for daytime protection.
@shepherdmanswife Just like my other photo for today this is a spicebush caterpillar. See my photo from July 4th. (I couldn’t get the link to paste in here)
