I was at a Daylily farm today..and the owner found this interesting caterpillar.
Anyone know what it is called.
Thanks,
Carol

How pretty, I believe it's a Cecropia Moth cat, they become a gorgeous moth, with a wingspan of 4-6 inches! Also called the Robin Moth.

wow oh wow what a lucky find. I agree with Cecropia as well
How pretty. : ) It doesn't even look real. Looks like somebody made it with colored stick pins. lol : )

Oh..thank you so very much.
I think I will let the owner know...although I am sure he has found out by now..he was taking pictures himself and had lots of his friends gathered round to look and guess what it was.
Cheers,
Carol
I found this good pic of both the Moth and the caterpillar.

When I first saw the pic I thought the stick ends were his antennae! lol
