Insects & Animals of the Week

This Polka-Dot Wasp Moth (Syntomeida Epilais) was outside HQ today. I've never seen anything like it. Metallic body including silver spots. It's native to the Caribbean.

This Lo Moth Caterpillar is the second crazy insect I've seen this week. This one was in Mary's backyard. Luckily Stella & Google didn't try to eat it. Apparently they are well-known for their painful stings. Thanks to Rob, the Entomologist, for both IDs.

This fella just kinda startled me when I pulled out my mail!
