I was in class three days for IPC-620C CSE certification. There was a 20 question closed book and 70 question open book test. You had to get 80% on each to pass. I got 90 on the closed and 96 on the open. Printed out my certificate and it's got toner streaks all over it!

We have to convert our class certificates to pdf and add them to our online merit process each year.

No printer streaks!

Was able to get back in the woods to lay out some boundary tape for the 'Forest Eater' machine, was both exhilarating to get back there and sad to see the damage to my fence, far end of tape is attached to trashed gate.
Brighter notes, Gorgeous Day and Little Sister's second egg!
A bit larger and darker olive.

Congrats on the new egg layer

Here in the Bay Area, There is a moth caterpillar that is only supposed to hatch every 10 years. They came back in both 2018 and 2019!

They really can hurt you too

Oh no! It's weird how that happens.

Oh no! It's weird how that happens.

Some people were stung by them here in Woodland too!

Agh, they sting?? Rude little buggers.

Yes!

While trees don’t usually mind the defoliation, since they evolved along with the insects, caterpillars’ spiky hairs can lead to itching or irritation of sensitive skin. Playgrounds, especially, bring a lot of curious people in contact with potentially irksome fuzz.

Yep, best never to touch a fuzzy caterpillar with bare hands.
