Questionable Hitchhiker!
Welcome to the first weekend of October!
October …. seriously!
As I carried my morning cuppa coffee toward the studio, I brushed up against some shrubbery. Nothing to worry about … usually. Except once inside, I felt like I had stickers or sand-burrs on my arm … Ouchy!!
This is what I found instead of the suspected plant origin pain delivery!
Off, off, OFF …. Now!! i.e. #findastickpronto
Once it was on the concrete outside, my fascination took over for a brief period … just long enough to snap a photo.
Then this “Question Mark” larva got a free flight before earning its own wings …. just to be sure it didn’t hitchhike a ride with me again.
Here’s the official web photo found for identification purposes. Clearly, this Question Mark is no longer in question here! (At least it’s colored appropriately for Fall) 😉
Happy Fall Weekend to all! Hoping all of your visitors &/or hitchhikers will be “friendly”!

It looks like an oleander caterpillar. We have them here in Florida. I had oleander shrubs at our first home in Florida and I hated those bugs. Ugh! I never planted oleander at my second home because of them. LOL!
