ಪ್ರೆಸ್ ಕಳೆದ ವಾರ ತಂದೆಯ ಅಸಾಧಾರಣ ಉತ್ತರಿಸಿ

For all those who abstained from voting (I want to assume some readers must have known the identity of our mystery caterpillar, but were too lazy to comment), here is the answer (after the break).

The caterpillar is Hemileuca maia (ಸ್ಯಾಟರ್ನಿಡೆ). Those spines do indeed give a pretty nasty sting. Only a tiny bit superficially similar to a gypsy moth.

ಮತ್ತು, ಕಾಳಜಿಯನ್ನು ನೀವು ಆ: The Genius of the Press before last also needed an answer, ಇದು ರಾಜ್ಯ ಬಹುತೇಕ ತುಂಬಾ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ಆಗಿದೆ. ಎಲೆಗಳು ತಿನ್ನುವುದಿಲ್ಲ ಚಿಟ್ಟೆಗಳು, and especially monarchs do not eat eucalyptus. The reporter must have failed second grade (and subsequently hired at the Santa Barbara News Press).
