Cyn and I kept brushing caterpillars off of our stuff, all weekend. They kept trying to climb upwards, looking for the tallest thing around. Like our tent. We watched one wander all over our picnic table. It decided that the coffeepot was the tallest thing there and went up. It made several circuits of it before deciding that it wasn't what it was looking for. It also didn't seem to know what to make off the glass percolator top. It wouldn't go up on it. It would stop and look in, but would just go on around.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of them, so I can't share them with you. I can tell you that they were yellowish, and hairy. Over an inch long.They had two or four black spikes of hair sticking out like antennae on either end. I tried a moth and butterfly identification site, but I couldn't find anything like them. The park staff didn't seem like they would have been much help either.

What color was the one that came home in your stuff?
