Things are getting spiny

Things are getting spiny

Hi everyone,

First it was spots, now it's spines.  Earlier in the week we had Archie's nine-spined stickleback, now we've got some spiny caterpillars.

Next time you're at Saltholme, keep your eyes peeled for peacock butterfly caterpillars.  They seem to be all over the place.

This spiny specimen was photographed by visitor Christopher Reed and added to Saltholme's facebook page.

Bye for now,

Ben.
