Crossing the Great Divide

I spotted this Luna Moth Caterpillar walking from my car to the house one day.

A late stage instar looking for a place to pupate and turn into a moth.

It is a long distance from the gardens at the side of the house to the woods, in caterpillar lengths.

And this one was determined to make it across.

Although this rock proved a bit too big.

I can report it made it across safely.
