100 Acre Wood, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA

Careful when you bring the last batches of kale into the house late in the year. In this case, unbeknownst me, a caterpillar crawled off the kale, pupated on the side of a canister, and on a cold January morning, the adult was fluttering around the kitchen. Here it is on the side of the cast iron fry pan. Alas, it was much too cold to release it outside.
