Bugman,
My 2 year old daughter found this out near her swingset today. We’ve only lived in coastal Virginia for 2 yrs so we’re not entirely familiar with local bugs. Can you help us to identify this character? We don’t know what to feed him. It’s over 2 inches in length and very thick in circumference. Thanks.
This is an Imperial Moth Caterpillar. It will metamorphose into a lovely large yellow and purple moth.
