05.06.18 - Stickeen and caterpillars

05.06.18 - Exploring - Ranger Greig read us part of a story today about John Muir walking over glaciers in Alaska with a dog called Stickeen. It sounded like a seriously dangerous but very exciting adventure. After the story we continued with our bioblitz and found tortoise shell caterpillars on nettle leaves. Ranger Greig told us that the nettles are food for the larve when they hatch out so that's why the catterpillars lay their eggs there.
