Murasaki Kyohime today. It's planned to be a future clump.
A few things in the yard.

Checking out this Japanese flowering quince. Noticed something funny.
I left a twig. It should be removed.
As I touched it, it moved.
It's a carnivorous caterpillar, so I left it to stay.

That is so cool and creepy. At first I thought this must be a trick question. I was wondering if you was thinking if we notice this one is not in a stainless steel colender.

I thought it was an inchworm.

I guess I'm not really sure. It was my first thought, but it didn't eat any foliage and looked ready to catch prey like in this video.

@my nellie I'm probably wrong. Either way it doesn't seem to like eating Quince and looks kind of neat.

My own short search also returned that carnivorous caterpillars exist only in Hawaii.

I guess I had a brain fart. Watched too much National Geo. It was a very aggressive caterpillar and similar in shape though.
You a hoarder too? Is 10K how many members there are? Wow. I only know he's one because he came out and started a thread about it "Enough is enough". I'm slowly reducing my inventory. Given away a few , tossed away a few, use some as grafts, and reconstitute a few things as clumps or forests.Can I ask what made you pick namnhi?
Out of 10k?

Pretty sure most of us are certifiable,
And the rest got hoarding tendencies!
Some are just downright In denial!

I think it's normal to go through a cyclical phase of having too much stuff, especially in the first years of bonsai. After I get some practicing in and sorting out the better stuff from the lesser stuff, I thin out the material.

True...
However, I've found that an eye for decent material develops in the same time....
Combined with better skills to make something out of other stuff too...
And then guys like you showing off Nishiki's Toyo's....
And somehow escaping the cycle is just as difficult! Emphasis on Cult!

The inch worm still hanging out. What is it thinking? I discover a olde antique Chinese pot. I wish! It's just a Made in China pot.

Need to wire my Quince new growth about now. Especially the root over rock to get tight bends. It's a small tree so...
