Take the Caterpillar ID Challenge!
Above are pix of three caterpillars taken this month in DeKorte Park.
Two were photographed on the Marsh Discovery Trail. One was taken on the edge of the Kingsland Overlook Trail.
They are different sizes.
(A big thanks to Julie McCall and the MEC’s Nick Vos-Wein for finding these cool guys.)
Anyone want to try to ID these lovable larvae?

Meadowlands ‘Green’ Restaurant
The current edition of the South Bergenite has an article about the district’s first officially “green” restaurant, Terre a Terre in Carlstadt. Everything about the restaurant — from the food it serves, to the menus, to the décor, to the cleaning agents — is considered environmentally friendly.
“Terre à Terre received the association’s certification under a US EPA grant awarded to the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission (NJMC) to assist the region’s food and beverage industry in implementing green initiatives,” writes The South Bergenite’s Jaimie Winters.
… “Through its Green Restaurant Initiative, the NJMC is working to help the region’s food and beverage industries realize energy savings and boost profits through a variety of sustainable business practices.”
