After yet ANOTHER day of rain, I took a walk around the yard. Honestly, it made me a little bit sad. There are branches down, some of my beds are eroding. and it just doesn't look very pretty. The ground is terribly soggy. Though the rain ceased for a bit, there is more on the way. I am officially over it. I need some sun. Bad.
But...I made my daily rounds to visit the caterpillars and cocoons to see if any change had taken place and it had! Look at this! I can hardly believe I identified these guys correctly. This is who I guessed they were: Ailanthus webworm

I really struggled to capture a decent image of these little guys. I finally ended up with my phone being the most successful tool. In this web, all stages of the life cycle are visible.
