what is this thing?
we saw this bug/caterpillar today near our pond. it seems almost prehistoric. do you know what kind of caterpillar this is or what it will become? thanks,

Hi JJ,
We have identified so many adult Imperial Moths this year, that it stands to reason we will be seeing plenty of Imperial Moth Caterpillars as well. Your image is the first to arrive. We currently have a photo of the adult Imperial Moth, Eacles imperialis, on our homepage.
