Improbable Insects: the Cat-eared Caterpillar
Scientific name: Amphipyra felis.
The elusive Cat-eared Caterpillar resembles its closely-related caterpillar brethren except for its unique vestigial ears, which resemble those of the common housecat, Felis catus. Fresh fruit, especially those of the orange variety such as peaches, apricots, and kumquats, are edible favorites. However, during mating season, this species is known to gorge itself on wild catnip, which leads the caterpillars to stagger around drunkenly for some random one-night encounters.
