I saw a green wooly worm today
sitting very still and pretty
Not your usual orange and black
but little itty-bitty
A digital worm I supposed,
from all those black antennae
I wondered what channel he listened to,
for there are so very many

Amazing. They are usually black on the ends with orange in the middle. Some say you can predict the winter conditions by how black they are!

Gorgeous.
I saw one too, but she was obviously in a rush. Perhaps doing last minute dinner shopping for her gang.
I watched as she crossed the street. Yes, she took the long way, but she sure knew where she was going.
Perhaps the best dandelions in town! 😃 thanks for the lovely poem and photos XoXo

The caterpillars have gone digital too?! I can’t keep up with it all, Dwight. 😉
I believe its an American Dagger Moth Caterpillar. Beware of those black spikes.

Very humorous. I like the idea of a digital worm listening to channels. Maybe he’s streaming music.
