In nature, shining anyway

5 mins read

Warmer weather is finally here and Franklin County’s many talented photographers are here to bring readers the best shots of nature and those who live in it. The basis for the Sunday collections goes back to March 2011, when author and photographer Jane Naliboff of Chesterville began sending a few pictures each week. Other photographers have since joined the effort, creating one of the Bulldog’s most widely appreciated features. If you are interested in contributing, please send photos with a caption and your name to thedailybulldog@gmail.com.

Fourth instar larva of a hyalophora cecropia moth caterpillar who was almost picked, by me, along with a blueberry and might have been eaten. It certainly would have been a big surprise. This amazing multi-colored caterpillar, named Crayola, witl go through one more larval stage before emerging next spring as a beautiful, intricate, gray moth with a 6″ wing span. I’ll post it if I find it. (Jane Naliboff)
