RE: back to Bonnies larva

No.  I wish I did.  The last I saw it, it was making its way through the
grass toward another tree.  Maybe I'll be able to see the chrysalis when the
leaves fall.  I can tell you that was one LARGE and very FAT caterpillar!  I
might have tried a capture but I didn't think I could mimic what it needed
to put it into captivity anyway.

Blessings,

I wonder if it is ready to make a cocoon for the winter?  Do you know
where it is now?
