caterpillar

2 more days until the auction! im excited. im probably gonna look for some saars and neps. i am probably doing a caterpillar one, but it wouldn't be till maybe a little after may you get them because of the seasonality. and there is a specififc rule for this.

well as we all kno that spring is on the way to us( maybe its already spring for some of you guys) and i personally have a fear for spring, first its allergy and the most that i fear is CATERPILLAR those hairy crawler that never kno when to stop eatting. some caterpillar have poisonous hair that...

I found many monarch caterpillar eggs on milkweed back on the 1st of August, and they have since grown into large and voracious caterpillars. I keep them in a 10 gallon tank with milkweed stems in cups of water. You guys have no idea how much milkweed 20 fourth instar monarch caterpillars can go...

Today i was outback, and saw the beebalm, and found a monarch caterpillar! I put it in a blank cd case( the hundred packs u buy at walmart & best buy) and look at it Unfortuantely, tommorrow i leave for vacation, i hope it doesnt make a christylis(sp?) by then

I found this caterpillar on one of my bushes and I thought I'd keep him so I can see how it'll turn into a butterfly. It made it's chrysalis either last night or this morning. So in 12-14 days, I'll have a Monarch :-D Here is the caterpillar And here is what he is now It decided to make...

So I spot this on one of my Drosera filiformis var tracyi I go after it with the trusty forceps and it drops down into the pot and tries to pretend to be a twig (note the silk lifeline going off to the right): I'll spare you the decapitation and feeding to my Sarracenia rosea but here's...

:banana2: :woot: Here are some pics of my new CP plants. Just got them in a few days ago so they are still de-stressing. P. Agnata A little caterpillar came in with the Ping eating one of the leaves. We plucked it off and fed it to one of the VFT's :-)) D. Cap. Baineskloof Dingley...

SOMETHING has been eating large chunks of leafy material from my VFTs! Two or three of my typicals from the .99 cent store, my akai ryu, and now my B52 are all missing chunks of their plant flesh! I first noticed it on the Akai Ryu because a new large trap that went up was missing a significant...

Well, my Sarracenia flava is out of dormancy, and I noticed a small hole punched in its first pitcher before it opened. Today, the top has browned and died off and I wondered what got to it. I broke off the top, peered inside, and saw lots of nasty brown/black granules of crud, and something...

Back in this thread I mentioned that I had found a silk nest/tube and some bug droppings (caterpillar like) in the moss of my D. paradoxa pot where some of the plants went south (see this thread.). Well last night while going over the same pot with a tweezers and magnifying glass I found this...

Hello, I checked some of my still-dormant Sarracenia bulbs this morning and finally found a reason why my S. Leucophylla X "Willissii" wasn't sprouting yet.  A caterpillar had lodged itself hidden against one of the shoots and enjoying quite a feast.  I took the caterpillar and angrily threw it...

A leaf (about 0.5 cm) fell off the main plant when I repotted it. I left the leaf behind on a mass of sphagnum moss thinking it would just die off anyway. In 2 months, I got this. Btw, that is a 1 cm, not 1 inch. By the way, the "caterpillar" lives here among the sphagnum.  

Can anyone ID this caterpillar? It was photographed on 9/17/05 in the NJ Pine Barrens. It was about 4" long an 1/2" wide. I tried looking online, but there were so many moths and butterflies common to the area.

I just tried to feed my Cape Sundews a little green caterpillar and both times I tried, it managed to force its way through the goo! It always ticks me off when bugs get away, because they leave the leaf all nasty looking... ...I got fed up and fed it to a fast-moving Venus Flytrap. That'll...

Although other predatory caterpillars have been discovered (ie:Harvester), this is a 1st for one to tie up it's prey like a spider...

Just a few pics of springtime... My mini bog A few new flowers A couple of pitchers getting ready to pop S. Tarnok flowers D. adelae flowering... a first And finally a caterpillar that stung the crap out of me

Mycologist Paul Stamets tests over 100 mushroom extracts with NIH and USAMRIID. Several show selective potent anti-viral properties. Kamilche Point, Washington 24 March 2005 – Recent in vitro tests demonstrate that a specially prepared extract from Fomitopsis officinalis is highly...

I saw this caterpillar in my yard yesterday. This thing was 5 inches long easy. Not sure what it's gonna turn into but it has to be big.

Okay, like I've said before, I've had very bad CP luck for a VERY long time now. Except for a couple months this year that they've done pretty good, my current stock has been looking quite bad for as long as I've had them. I currently have one Dente VFT, several unidentified VFTs, one Judith...
