I found this hairy caterpillar taking a stroll down my driveway and crawled around with it for a little while taking some pictures. I couldn't find it in my The Wildlife of Southern Africa book and only found two or three pics of it on the internet.

The lighthouse was built in 1861 but was taken out of commission in the mid 1900's due to the fact that the lights of the city behind it made it impossible for ships to spot it's light. A new light was erected out on the North End coastline to warn ships.Visit Skywatch for more pictures featuring the sky
