Wow! The weekend is almost over and we have fit so much in! Today we left the beautiful Park View Guest House (see picture below) in the morning and headed back to Slidell and the swamp for some more hunting. Although I was really sad to say goodbye to New Orleans and civilization I was excited to find such amazing new caterpillars that nobody has yet found during this expedition, like the Red-Eyed Button Slug (see below)... a stinging variety and another unknown caterpillar (see last photo) that I'm looking forward to identifying tomorrow because it looks like a snake almost!

Hey Mrs. Gier,
I am not sure if you got my first post or not because the library computers haven't been working for us. It sounds like you are having a lot of fun and its so cool being able to talk via web cam and see everything you get to.I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip, and come home saftey.

The guest house looks so beautiful and very different from the usual swamp pictures you have been showing us! It looks like it would have been fun staying there. Also, does the "red eye" on the Red-Eyed Button Slug in the picture have a purpose like scaring away predators? Or is it just a visual characteristic?
