Great Peacock Moth Caterpillar
Dear mom and kid,
This is the caterpillar of the Great Peacock Moth, Saturnia pyri, and you may verify our identification by viewing it on Kirby Wolfe’s website. Vincent Van Gogh did a painting of the adult moth which you can view on this Van Gogh Gallery website. The adult moth and caterpillar are both depicted on this Czechoslovakian postage stamp.
