Our twelve-member team once more endured hot and mostly sunny conditions for this week's survey. Pipevine Swallowtail caterpillars are an indicator of temperature during their development. Their cool-weather color is black, but if the mercury rises, their next molt will produce a red larva. At very high temperatures, they turn golden, as pictured below.
