i took these on labor day, and just found them again. it was absolutely HUGE. but i;m nto sure what kind. i have a few other angles of it to.

.......you held that thing...in your hand?.........i would not have been able to do that myself, i love bugs, and im not afraid of them...they surprise me sometimes. but im not afraid....but still....i wouldnt have been able to hold it.. (only limited to catapillars and dragonflys)

[Dylan8i]

yeah, it wasn't moving at all, and i knocked it off the stick so i had to coax it back on. it was pretty sclerotixed to, it wasn;t very soft like most fuzzt caterpillers are.

Oh my! That IS huge! And I thought the black fuzzy we found at the football game was big lol He is awesome! I am certainly interested to know what it is. My brother says there is a moth that is really big.. perhaps that.

It's an imperial moth caterpillar

Color can vary from reddish-brown to light green, and grows to about 5" long.

ummm, why is the catterpillar next to a bowl of soup? just a thought but....wouldtnt that be kind of disgusting?

[Dylan8i]

lol thats it, thanks

[payn817]

LOL. Guess someone needs some protein.

[Chrislowshow]

ROFL!! thats the wrong way to go about getting it

[SmartWombat]

Yep, looks like it's going to be a big moth.
It's the size of a hawk moth caterpillar, but from the hair I don't think it's one of those.
