  4. Oh---while I was "researching" you got it!

    I was just going to post my findings:
    So cool!
    I googled "British caterpillar looks like green stick" and it looks like a peppered moth caterpillar (?).
    I've never heard of such a thing---does that sound familiar?

    This Cornwall blog even posted a photo of one on October 4 (2013)

  6. TBH, I think it was bad form to put Brian up on an ID photo call without any other caterpillars in the line. Just saying

Hi, I've removed word verification...so if all goes well I'll leave it off.....
Please leave a pebble in the pool ((o)) even if you don't want to comment, it is nice to see where you all come from!
Thanks!
