LOOK AT THIS BIG FAT NERD OF A CATERPILLAR I FOUND HE WAS BIG AND GREEN AND ADORABLE AND DIDN’T EVEN POOP ON ME WHICH WAS SWEET OF HIM/HER
i really need to start just bringing my good camera with me to classes – My stupid phone would nOT FOCUS ON THE CATERPILLAR
Working on ID’ing it. I let it go away from the path after the photo op by the way.
Pretty sure it was a Sphinx chersis, Great ash sphinx moth larva. But don’t quote me on that, the sphinx are all pretty similar.
YOU HAVE THE BEST BUGS
all we have are mosquitoes, hornets, and giant freaking millipedes.
