Submitted by: Edible
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It was wriggling quickly across my bedroom floor! I think it came in through a gap in the window, there is a gap in the fly screen, having come from one of the maples in the garden. It is the second caterpillar ice found in this way.
