Common Army Moth larvae. Rick Bin and his lack of spell check. blush

Lots of them down low right now so it might be a good crop this year and it's an important food source for the Grizzly bears.

They will be out on those open slopes and basins rolling rocks all day.

That would be cool to see.

It's pretty Kewl.

The bears around here are a bit better behaved, sometimes, and I think it might have something to do with that food source.

Typically early August is prime time and Franc's Peak is a hot spot but on the other side of the Greybull River the top end of Piney Creek might be better.

All hikeable for a guy who posts in the backpacker forum.

Not a bad trip in August.

Gorgeous country for sure. I've got a few hikes planned, but all down here. Didn't draw my elk tag in my favorite area so I'm left with what I can get in the supplemental draw and need to check out a couple of new areas. That and maybe have to get a knee scoped.
