A dozen volunteers contributed to this week's survey under delightfully cool and partly cloudy conditions. The Lassaux's sphinx caterpillar shown below feeds on milkweed vines such as Pearl Milkweed and Talayote. It not only matches the mixed green and dying grayish vine stems and pods of its host but even has white bumps that resemble the oozing white sap of the damaged plant.
