March 12, 2015 (Anza Borrego Desert) – Kristin Kjaero visited the Anza Borrego desert Tuesday, where she observed “thousands of caterpillars in a feeding frenzy…The roads were dotted with yellow splotches.” Standing still for just a few moments to take a photo, she adds, “I had caterpillars crawl onto each foot.”
After munching on the flower fields, these caterpillars will ultimately turn into white sphinx moths – which in turn help pollinate flowers to assure future growth.
