[PHOTOS TAKEN: SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2024 | Image IDs: Six photos of a green, brown, and white saddleback caterpillar, a type of slug moth, on a large green leaf /End IDs.]
This was a fascinating find! I don't think I had ever seen one before. This is a saddleback caterpillar, Acharia stimulea, a member of the slug moth family! Do be careful, though, despite their saddled appearance, these adorable things are not for riding, as those hairs are capable of delivering a burning sting!
