    Black yellow tussock moth crawls on ground

    My wife and I visited the San Francisco Botanical Garden in 2020 (during the pandemic) and during our stroll, we noticed a fuzzy friend, a Spotted Tussock Moth caterpillar, sharing the same path. After recording, we used a postcard to scoop the friend into a better sheltered area to protect it from getting stepped on or attacked by animals.
