Today has been declared caterpillar day by elsita mora and this is my contribution to the event. Meet Oak the reversible caterpillar. Green on one side and grey on the other with a splash of yellow on his underbelly. the Oak caterpillar is the finest example of phenotypic plasticity . My daughter Bekki is home from university on reading week and is studying molecular ecology and genetics. If you are really interested I could ask her to explain what this means. Have a wonderful weekend . I hope to get better pictures of Oak tomorrow when the sun is out.
