Follow Up No. 2: I’ve been enjoying observing this season’s azalea caterpillars (Datana major) at FatChance Manor (see previous posts here, and here). At this stage they spend most of their time massed together, wriggling and writhing on whatever azalea leaf they are devouring. But when they are disturbed they immediately rear their fuzzy heads and pronged abdomens, and all motion suddenly stops. The cohort moves together to create a startling alarm display.
