Caterpillar video -
This little caterpillar was caught around my plants in the back yard. my yard is full of different types of caterpillars.
This was the first time I have seen a caterpillar like this. At first, I wasn't sure it was even a caterpillar from the size and the look it was almost alien 👽 like.
Hyalophora cecropia, the cecropia moth, is North America's largest native moth.[1] It is a member of the family Saturniidae, or giant silk moths. Females have been documented with a wingspan of five to seven inches (160 mm) or more. These moths can be found all across North America as far west as Washington and north into the majority of Canadian provinces.[2] Cecropia moth larvae are most commonly found on maple trees, but they have also been found on cherry and birch trees among many others. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
