I went up The Tip to stretch my paws this weekend
And look what I found....
Cattie Pillars in stripey pyjamas!!!!
Apparently when they grow up they turn in to these fellas
Burnet Mofties
So...does that mean...
Unlike Leopards,
who can't change their spots
Moftie Pillars
can change their stripes for spots???

Those cattie pillars are kind of pretty. And they turn into something gorgeous. Great pictures. You have a super day.
ReplyDeleteGoodness Princess...what deep thinking today! And a very good question you posed!
ReplyDeleteOMCs Princess Leah we are stunned at the transformation from long and skinny to such graceful beauties. WOW Your Dad is a Cattie/Buttie Pillar expert.
ReplyDeleteGood news from here I had a really good breakfast topped with turkey. Dang it took mom furever to read my mind and KNOW exactly what I’d eat. If had not been for Dad suggesting it I might have blown away. As they say sometimes the solution is right in front of you!!
Hugs madi your bfff

Wow, we never saw any that looked like that (in either form)! BTW, our mom say a comment your mom put on YaYa's bloggy and said she read a good explanation of why sleep is impaired and it is because the lack of hormones affects the regulation of the sleep causing hormones.
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
That is quite a find! I hope the butter pillars come to visit you!
ReplyDeleteThose were the coolest caterpillars we have ever seen
ReplyDeleteThose are some beautimous mofties and cattie pillars!But that is a very philosophic question Princess...we will take a little nap and get back to you ;-).

That is quite a transformation from the stripy caterpillar to the spotted mofty. We like the mofty version best.

I though buttie pillars like that only existed in coloring books. They are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWow, the insect world is so interesting! Thanks for sharing!
