  And a new species for my place. I have a few black walnuts and butternuts planted here. Wonder if there will be any caterpillars on them this year. Posted 6 years ago

    Something to look out for! It'd be great to add a caterpillar shot to the record :) Posted 6 years ago

      There's a sapling tree nearby and several larger ones in a row by one of my gardens so plenty of places to look. Posted 6 years ago
