In recent days, there have been a lot of caterpillar droppings on my back porch adjacent to some bonsai. I thought it came from around the tamarind tree bonsai but it turned out that it came from an orange caterpillar that ate lemon tree leaves until almost yesterday and today was partying in a kawista tree bonsai which you might also know as wood-apple or elephant-apple (Limonia acidissima).
Remembering this is a picture for the Saturday’s Critters Challenge, and we need to take a break, this time I don’t want to burden anyone’s mind with heavy thinking. Especially also because DocAndersen kept counting the days where he felt I had forced him to think, even though he also knew that 80% of my posts had the same nuance. So let’s just look at this type of caterpillar which only eats orange leaves or plants that are still included in the citrus family (Rutaceae).
At that age, the creature is still disguised as bird droppings and will change in time to become similar to orange leaves before later, you or we all know that it will become a butterfly.
Alright, just look at the picture, read the explanation lightly, and don’t think of anything about the caterpillar. Don’t.

Great capture my friend. You even got Doc doing the hehehehe lol.I am thinking of caterpillars too, and proud of it. You keep us thinking, which is a great thing.
Thank you so much, LaJenna. Doc and I have built mutual understanding for that.
Hopefully, your mind doesn’t get tired because of me.
Never tired, just curious for more imput lol.
I am in the middle of the learning process of being like you, absorbing all good and wisdom from all directions.
You are delusional lol. It is the other way around, just ask around lol.
Are you suggesting me to go to a psychologist to deal with the delusion?
You think others have such talent to understand about life, when you are indeed a great teacher. Confusion usually sets within teachers because of such responsibilities. All of us have to overlook your confusion, because, we know the real truth is within you. I do not know such wisdom. Face the fact you have the gift of understanding things.
Well, if you insist, I will not refuse it this time. ?
Just this time.
The Monarch caterpillars I raise as Butterflies are very bad housekeepers, they are as babies, time wasters. Yet I continually rescue them from their natural predators, mainly the paper wasps.
There are many in NZ that are like me, raise Monarch butterflies because they are easy to care for and also the Monarch caterpillar has more against its survival than for it. People help them to survive and also people benefit from learning about the species.
I have seen from some of your posts how your love and efforts to save them, Pamela. That is great!
Who knows, with some training I might become able to not think of caterpillars if you ask me to not think of them. This time, I failed. ?
At least the caterpillar won’t stick forever in your mind, my friend. Even if it’s still there, it will soon morph into a butterfly, and who knows, the butterfly will invite you to fly with it.
Hah, calling me out made me think about the caterpillars as less the garden destructor but instead, as the bearer of the butterfly to be.
4 straight days of making me think 🙂
Are you deliberately entertaining me, Doc?
do I get to use the hehehe now?
You can always do it! As much as you like and as much as your heart.
I feel as though I am now the worlds first laughing butterfly hehehehe
😉
Welcome to the world, cool butterfly
The crawler is a good reason to take pictures. I like them.
At least their existence gave me the opportunity to post something for this challenge.
Good pictures of caterpillars dear friend
Greetings from him for you, dear friend.
Thanks for the beautiful and exquisite greetings … I only give you my greetings
…and I received your warm greetings, dear friend.
I enjoyed this blog about caterpillars.
I always enjoy your comments in my posts…
Thank you Albert for your kind comments.
You are most welcome, Dee.
Oh, Albert. I would like to share some interesting post, but I am waiting for approval from Thursday ?
I understand that limitation, Vidocka.
Of course now all I can think of are caterpillars. Great shot of this one.
That’s the uniqueness of our minds, right? Whether it’s advantages or disadvantages…
