Submitted by: a1Granny
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It was sunny and around 64 degrees F in Pacific Palisades, CA 92072. Unfortunately my grandson removed the caterpillar from the tree he was in so I cannot give you that information. However, the next time I talk to him or his dad, I will try to obtain he name of the tree or bush where the caterpillar was first sited.
