Stinging Slug CaterpillarsHi,
I found your web page while trying to identify a hummingbird clearwing moth that I took a picture of yesterday and decided you might can help me identify the attached picture. This bug was crawling on our car and we let it crawl onto the graph paper in order to take its picture. Do you know what this creature is? Thanks a lot for you help.

Hi Julie and Jim,
What an artful photograph of a Monkey Slug Caterpillar or Hag Moth Larva, Phobetron pithecium. This is a stinging caterpillar.
