Seventeen volunteers contributed to this week's survey under sunny, cool conditions. Caterpillars do not have the compound eyes characteristic of adult butterflies and moths. They instead have six simple eyes (ocelli) arranged in a semicircle on each side of their head, as shown below. Their eyesight is not that great.
