New species of caterpillar found in the wild

This new species of caterpillar (new in my stash...) is the Speed Demon Sock in colorway Angel from SweetGeorgia yarns. I have wanted one of these for a while, ever since I saw it metamorphosed into socks in some remote blog or other (can't remember where). A recent trip to visit my friend Barbara at The Point NYC, (she teaches there) yielded this terrific acquisition!
Caterpillars need to eat a lot of leaves to grow, so I went to the park and got this little Angel Caterpillar a few leaves. I thought I'll get a variety, since I was not sure what this caterpillar will like...

I like the caterpillar on the top. Great colours. Calm fall colours looks great!

Little caterpillar will metamorphasize -- pupatize? whatever :-) -- into some absolutely lovely socks!!

I found a black swallowtail caterpillar on my parsley last week--I hope it hits pupa mode asap! MORE sock yarn? I'm calling you Pippi!

The SweetGeorgia yarn is delicious; you're gonna love it. I found the dyer's own Angel socks rather captivating. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Alas it is too cold and wet in my garden now for any kind of caterpillar. I can't wait to see what socks yours metmorphasizes into!

Your pictures are real eye-candies, I especially love the colours of the leaves, green and a hint of red - beautiful (and of course I like the sockyarn, too!)
