An Incredible Inchworm that makes its own flower costume.
I was walking in the field in Valley Forge today and out of the corner of my eye I saw a funny movement in the tall weeds. Looking closer it had the movement of an inchworm. And then looking even closer it was an inchworm covered in little flowers. I took loads of pictures and then came home and looked him up and found that this particular inchworm bites off the flowers that he is eating and then using his spit sticks the flowers on his body to use as camouflage to protect him from predators. Just incredible nature.
