Isn't this caterpillar cute? I wouldn't dare touch it, its bright colors it might be poisonous to me, but I couldn't help notice it's desire and search for a new surface to crawl. So after taking these photos, I found a stick, let it climb on it, and quickly transported it to the tree which we were under. All before this enthusiastic caterpillar reached my finger tips holding the stick. Whew.

I saw these things in Bryant Park yesterday, different sizes, and you wouldn't believe it... different personalities. Some bravely crawled off the pillars and floated to the ground again and again, and others would clamp up and hide their heads at the gust of wind. The birds were staying away from them, so not touching sounds like a good decision.
