What I have encountered so far...

Thank you all for leaving great questions and comments. So far we found over 300 caterpillars since Monday. Some types of caterpillars that we found are Fall Webworms, Purple Crusted Slug, and Saddle back. The only poisonous caterpillar that we found is the Purple crusted slug. Caterpillars are herbivores, they only eat plants. Some plants that they eat are ferns, Holly, Sweet Gum, and Maple.
I think that the most dangerous thing that I have experienced was when we went to plot in the woods, it is hunting season, so their were hunters in the woods. I was a little nervous but we all had out bright orange vests on!

Hunting Season! Good Lord! Did you hear any gunshots while you were out there?

Three hundred caterpillars? Is that a lot for a plot that large? What type did you find the most of?

The Purple Crusted Slug is poisonous? If it stung you would you have to go to the hospital? Because it's poisonous, does that mean that it has to predators?

Keep up the good work!
