CLOSED: BIG Wooly Booger

(Maggi) Big Sandy, TX(Zone 8a)

I found this one in the back porch, it seems to be on it's last legs (dying).

We see a lot of interesting things around these parts, but I have not seen one like this before, at first glance I thought one of my vacuum cleaner attachments had come apart.

I did a search on this and found it pretty fast. It's a Giant Leopard Moth caterpillar, Wikipedia lists one of it's food sources as Brugmansia - LOL! No wonder we are seeing them here.
