The first time I got stung by one of these ...Erin,<br /><br />The first time I got stung by one of these I looked all over the blueberry bush for the culprit. I was just sure it had been to have been some kind of hornet, but the only critter I could find was this funny-looking caterpillar! We looked it up in a bug book, and found out that the culprit was this guy, after all. <br /><br />Cheryl was just as surprised when she figured it out as I was! She is better, but based the reaction she had, it seems she might be actually allergic to the sting, which makes it even worse. The good news is that she is better now. Thanks for the kind thoughts.Amy W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14108368551894382300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134341373474313620.post-79099464594034104932010-08-22T17:51:22.518-04:002010-08-22T17:51:22.518-04:00Wow!
