Silkwormscaterpillar photos
Hi there fellow bug lover,
Thought you might like these photos that I took yesterday. I’m a horticulturist at a garden center in Lake Charles, LA. A customer came in with this wonderful Hickory Horned Devil specimen to see if we could identify it for her. It had been devouring her pecan tree. She was pretty concerned because we had already lost so many large trees last year to Hurricane Rita. I gave her the link to your website and advised her to let big ol’ “George” free to resume fulfilling his ravenous appetite…preferably far back in the woods behind her house. He was really a beauty! Hope you enjoy the photos.

Hi Lu,
We have already decided to profile the Hickory Horned Devil as the Bug of the Month for September.
