an entomological education

Oh Monday, you always come too soon.

K and I saw a woolly bear caterpillar while strolling through town yesterday (see above). I love them!

Anyway, turns out I was way off. In the spring, after spending the long winter months in a cozy cocoon, the woolly bear will emerge as an Isabella Tiger Moth! So there--fun fact for the day :) I did also see a perfect, beautiful monarch butterfly this weekend--so lovely! On an unrelated note, here is my finished puzzle:
