Greetings,


Happy September! Our dry and warm stretch has continued here. Getting to observe the butterflies, bees, and birds enjoying our gardens has continued to be great entertainment while we are sitting on our porch or deck! It never gets old.


There are many interesting caterpillars to observe, but there is one that certainly can stand out! If you have been on the unlucky end of encountering it by more than just your sight, you surely know what I am talking about. The saddleback caterpillar is quite the sight, but also can leave quite the sting!!


Enjoy learning all about this crazy looking critter today!! You can share this crazy guy by sharing our post today on our Growit Buildit Facebook & Growit Buildit Instagram pages.
