Giant Silk MothsBugman:
My son found a very large caterpillar several months ago. We kept it and watched it make its cocoon. It just came out of the cocoon this morning. Here is a picture. Please tell me what kind it is. Sorry I didn’t take a picture of the caterpillar or cocoon. Thanks,
Tom Pace
Hi Tom,
This gorgeous moth is known as the Royal Walnut Moth or Regal Moth. The striking caterpillar is called a Hickory Horned Devil. We get numerous moth and caterpillar photos, but we are sadly lacking in a pupa image.
