Title: Hickory Horned Devil Caterpillar
Post by: ScreaminScott on February 26, 2015, 04:51:50 pm

These get quite large. This is an early instar though...One of many odd caterpillar I have found here in Georgia... While it looks dangerous, this one isn't venomous like the "Slug" caterpillars are...

Seriously ugly dude - I suppose that it is mimicking a "poisonous" caterpillar - the spines say to me - don't you dare eat me!

Another great one, so as someone who loves to try this sort of close-up nature photography but struggles with it, let me say welcome the these forums, and please keep posting!
