Giant Helicoverpa caterpillar and leaf

vmade for CSIRO Plant Industry. This type of caterpillar is the main pest in the cotton industry.

 

In the end it was too damp to dry the leaf outside, and I brought it in to dry over the heater. I also sandwiched a layer of moldable aluminium mesh in between the two felt layers. It was attached to a wire outline, and all that got covered with the felt.
