Scared the ---- out of me!

Out of the corner of my eye this morning as I sat eating breakfast I perceived a moving brown blob and shrieked "There's a bug on me!".

I tore off my shirt, shook it and nothing dropped or flew off...and then I spied this caterpillar. I can only assume that I picked it up when I was outside photographing some creeping euonymous under a tree.

I re-homed it on my salvia plant OUTSIDE where I can continue to take its portraits at a safer distance. (See "next")

That is too funny, and I would have had the same reaction.

I often find Geometrids on me after wandering through the bush or crawling under vegetation, just as you did!
