Who Am I?

...and how utterly strange and beautiful I am.

These little guys are hanging all over the preserve. Sometimes you walk into them while hiking, or you see them hanging in mid air from Coast Live Oaks (native of California), or they are creeping along somewhere near you.

They ARE beautifully colored and strange looking. This one had all the fur spikes, and even gave me a look while I was taking a photo of him.

I was told this one will become a drab brown moth.

What I really like about smartphone cameras is they are VERY good at macro-photography.
