At one point, Sam took our insect net and randomly swept it through a weedy patch near the shore, and asked me to look to see what was in it. There was [...]]]></description>

Here it is in long form so that you can see the whole thing: She&#8217;s probably Cryptus albitarsis, the most common of the ichneumon wasps that have this particular coloration. And we can be sure this is a &#8220;she&#8221;, because [...]]]></description>

Pretty good-sized caterpillar, distinctive-looking striping; should be a piece of cake, right? But, it turns out to be not so easy. I went all through Caterpillars of Eastern North America, searched BugGuide, posted [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m pretty sure that the inchworm wasn&#8217;t eating the lichen, because the camouflage is all wrong. It&#8217;s disguised as a twig, and the way it is posing, it would look pretty darned convincing if it were on a tree. But, being [...]]]></description>
