The Icon photographed this swallowtail caterpillar chomping on its lunch at the Farmers' Market on Saturday. We posted the photo on Icon's Instagram and received one of the largest-ever positive responses from viewers. With that popularity, we offer this photo to all Icon viewers.
Look who the Icon ran into on Saturday at Shirley's birthday party. He even offered us some of his popcorn.
