Will this little guy turn into a caterpillar? I think so.

This caterpillar was photographed last week at Jennings State Park in Butler County, Pennsylvania near their constructed wetlands to treat a stream fouled with acid mine drainage. It’s a lovely state park and well worth the visit.

First in a series, a la Andrew Sullivan, we have a dog nursing kittens:

Paul Kalenak found the kittens at his garage in Aliquippa after their mom had been killed and he took them home.
His dog, Cobra, a Jack Russell terrier, had just given birth to some pups.
She’s now nursing the kittens.
The family plans to keep the litter.
