'Very Hungry Caterpillar' is Back at Busy Berkley Corner

"The Very Hungry Caterpillar" is back at the northeast corner of Cass and Catalpa in Berkley.

Huntington Woods-Berkley Patch readers first spotted the shrubbery sculpture last summer.

"Check out 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' at the corner of Cass and Catalpa," Mechelle Bernard wrote on the Huntington Woods-Berkley Patch Facebook page. "There's an imaginative gardener living there!"

"The Very Hungry Caterpillar" is a popular children's picture book about one caterpillar's journey to become a butterfly.

Resident Tim Dalian, who created the shrubbery sculpture using a ladder and hedge clipper, said the sculpture is open to interpretation.

"At one point, I thought maybe it would be a pumpkin," he said.

His daughter Kristina piped in: "It's a caterpillar with a Mohawk."

When asked what inspired him, Dalian replied: "It just looked like it needed it."
