Earlier this week I found a caterpillar which looked just like a 
twig.  If it had not moved, I would have thought that it was a twig 
fallen from the overhanging Norway Maple.  Its skin was the same 
greyish brown colour, with creases around its circumference like the 
growth rings in the bark of a maple twig.  However this "twig", which 
was more than three inches long, was inching its way across a 
colleague's windshield.

I've looked at a few online sites, but don't have an ID yet.  Bev 
Wigney has a "twig caterpillar" on her site 
http://www.pbase.com/crocodile/image/45413515 which looks somewhat 
like it, but not exactly.  Can anyone suggest other sites, or an ID?

	Cheers,

	Patricia
