Re: back to Bonnies larva


Oooh! I remember seeing these moths as a kid then I lived in Western New York! They are big and rather fuzzy looking. But I never saw one of their cool caterpillers!

Bonnie--

When I couldn't id accurately your larva, sent the photo link on to
someone I work with at the nature center and is definately a step above

I looked at more pictures and upon further review I believe the
