Pretty tree at the beginning of the bike trail
This small, hairy caterpillar was on a Rumex crispus leaf. I saw 3 of these caterpillars within a few feet of each other.
This link isn't to the individual Curly Dock it was on, but a nearby one of the same species https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/213361754
Other caterpillars I photographed:
This California Brittlebush is growing in a planter in the parking lot of the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve.
This flowering Buckwheat is growing in a planter in the parking lot of the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve.
This bush is growing near the parking lot.
This White Horehound was growing as a weed next to the parking lot. I uprooted it.
This tall Mustard is growing near the parking lot.
A snail on it: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/213934429
