Hickory Horned Devil by Jackie B. Elmore 7-25-2018 Lincoln Co. KY
This awesome caterpillar was found tonight feeding on the leaves of a small walnut tree in the yard. These caterpillars molt four times before attaining their full size, which is the fifth instar right before pupation. Earlier instars are brown, full size instars are green. They later turn into the beautiful Regal moth.
