We found this Huge Green Caterpillar In our Backyard today! The kids were all a buzz with excitement, I have never seen anything like this before.  It had beautiful bright spikes on its back of red, yellow and blue it was larger than my thumb. The picture really doesn’t give it justice. We had to finding out what it was. The kids had a great time making pom pom caterpillars, drawing pictures of their new friend and making butterfly/ moth crafts. the kids loved learning about this beautiful creature.
