I keep thinking about all the old fencing rolls next door at the neighbors - I think it's for sale from a couple weeks ago. I keep wanting to buy it to enclose a garden plot surrounding the old remains of concrete and dirt rows extending out from greenhouse. Or to enclose an animal pen area. Can't get it off my mind - so I'll ask her how much.

Yes, good idea! You won't know unless you ask.

I don't bother snakes either, unless it's a rattler. And the skunks are out all over. Has anyone else been deluged with caterpillars lately? They're dark with yellow stripes and dashes, and orange heads and butts.

No, I just saw one, 5-inch long, green like tomato worm, but with markings on it. I still just have bunches of the western/plains lubber grasshoppers here. I don't envy you with the skunks.

Yes we were about one month ago.

Well, they've made their way to my house!

Do any of these look like it?

Who gave them the map, or do they now have their own GPS system?

No, but here are a few pictures. They have been everywhere this week. When I get close to take their picture, they reach up toward the camera and I can't get a good closeup shot. Most are about 3 inches long. Some are shorter and some are longer. The majority look like the one in the second picture.

I'm seeing a prong horn on it so it's some sort of Hornworm Caterpillar. I think they are supposed to turn into a moth.
