Cellular Automata Caterpillar
Sunday, September 18, 2005
My son found this caterpillar in our yard Friday. I don't know what species it is. (Anyone know?) I took its picture because of the cellular automata-style patterns on its back. I sent it to the folks at Wolfram, who I'm sure could tell me what pattern that is.
(Regarding the ichor it's sitting in, we didn't know if it was injured or whether this was some other kind of secretion.)
