About as long as my middle finger and as big around. you can see how fat he is by the hose he is crawling on. He is also very slow, and I suspect a bird got him before he got where he was going. Hope not. Quote: This is a larva of a giant silk moth (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae); possibly a luna moth (Actias luna - see http://tinyurl.com/2ayw34z for an example. End Quote Linny |
