Bridger was excited to spot this very large caterpillar one morning in September of 2010. He thought I might like to make its portrait. He was right!
A Caterpillar Contemplates... ? - September 2010
I don’t know what caterpillars contemplate in general, but this one was trying to start to spin its cocoon. Talk about an opportunity for deep contemplation, the time spent metamorphosing, wrapped in a cocoon, might just be time for deep coming-of-age thoughts!
Should we take a cue from the moth and butterfly world, and tightly wrap our teenagers in swaddling clothes to contemplate their coming of age years?

Joanna, Thanks. A still photo reveals many details, from hairs to spots and large brown eyes. Hey, that’s almost a description of a dog! Ok, I might admit that a dog is cuter. ~Kyle

Hi Kyle,
A dog is definitely cuter, but this one is so much more special!

That’s one nice sharp picture of a caterpillar. I’d say the contemplation was more on your part than its.
