Caterpillars in the Snow! Published: January 31, 2025 Tags: General Observations, caterpillar, eastern bluebird, snow As I was driving past a snowy field the other day, I happened to see an Eastern Bluebird poking around in the snow. Curious, I pulled over to watch. We've had some substantial snowfalls recently and I thought it way too deep for any insect life to be found so I was amazed when I saw the bluebird pull out a caterpillar! In spite of all that snow, there is insect life out there and our bluebirds are apparently very adept at finding it! What's she finding in all that snow??? A caterpillar! A yummy lunch for her!
