Shooter's Comments: This started out to be a rather sedate hike through the wetlands, while wearing linen slacks and dress shoes, but as we turned a corner in the waist-high prairie grass the kids started finding caterpillars on the bushes. And, of course, one can't not pick up a fuzzy caterpillar. (It would have made a better photo with a more colorful caterpillar but one can't be too choosy.)

-- Samuel Hoffman, photojournalist

Editor's Note: The kid's expression more than makes up for the color of the caterpillar. This is an ongoing event at Eagle Marsh and looks like a lot of fun.
