You know the old saying, "Four Cecropia are better than none."
Here is a photo of four large caterpillars removed from a fernleaf buckhorn plant at Liberty National Bank on Saturday. The Cecropia Moth (Hyalophora cecropia) is North America's largest native moth, having a wingspan of 5 to 6 inches.
The wings of the giant silk moths are brown with some white and "eyes." The large caterpillars were removed from the bank's plant and transported to a maple tree in the country, hoping the life cycle will continue for these moths and one day, perhaps, be seen by someone.
The photo below shows what these caterpillars will eventually become.
Thanks to these photos provided by Kevin Mierzejewski, you can have that view.
He took the following photos on Saturday showing the Farmers' and Merchants' Picnic grounds and the surrounding views of Ada.
These are from his Facebook page and he gave us permission to post them. We couldn't decide which view we enjoyed the most, so we've posted five for your viewing enjoyment.
