This episode’s inspiration comes from a line from an article in the National Geographic Sept 2024 issue. It describes a lace capped caterpillar.

Ces and Lee explore the dissimilitude of seeing caterpillars initially as a nuisance and the pleasure of witnessing their transformation into beautiful creatures of flight. The episode touches on themes of play, camouflage, garden adventures, and the joys of writing about light-hearted topics. Towards the end, they invite listeners to reflect and write about their own associations with caterpillars.
