An Unidentified Fuzzy Visitor

When your husband is a tree surgeon, you never know what little visitors will come home with him. Sometimes he brings them home on purpose, like the baby squirrels that we raised. Sometimes they grab a ride in his pocket or on his shoe and he doesn't even know they are there until we find them. Today was one of those days. Thomas came in from work, and Katarina noticed that a little fuzzy visitor dropped of his shoe and landed on the floor.

Time for a quick rescue and a trip to the grass outside.

Thomas held the little guy for a minute before putting him down on the grass.

"Help! I'm falling!!"

Whew! Almost back on top of the leaf.

Katarina wanted to touch him....but at the same time she didn't want him to touch her! Conundrum.

"Hey! I see you looking at me, crazy camera lady!"

"Would you like this leaf?"
....he didn't seem very interested.

I love all his fuzzy little hairs sticking out everywhere.

So cute.

The best part of having this fuzzy visitor today? Seeing the wonder on my daughter's face as she watched him.

Katarina and I tried to look him up in all of her animal books, and online. We couldn't figure out what kind of caterpillar he is, or what kind of butterfly he will become. Do you know?
