December 24, 2009
I found these acrobatic caterpillars on my George Tabor Azaleas I believe it was in September. Their black and white stripes were quite different. It was their red head and legs and tail that caught my attention. No major harm was done to my azaleas. Could these be the [...]

September 23, 2009
Was walking with the 2 year old in the swamp park in Southern Illinois today and found a strange looking caterpillar. Some research has it as a Schizura unicornis (I think&#8230;do they eat oak?).
The camouflage was strikingly good from some angles, the green &#8220;window&#8221; in its mid-section is exactly as translucent as [...]

Hello,
I found this odd little caterpillar on a Black Locust tree near my house in south-western Pennsylvania. I tried searching through books and the internet, hoping to find out what this little guy is with no luck. [S]he is about 2&#8243; long. Hopefully you can help identify the bugger!

I really like your website &#8211; it&#8217;s been very helpful in identifying many of the insects that I&#8217;ve found. These caterpillars I&#8217;m having a hard time with though. I saw them during the summer, munching on speckled alder leaves on an island in Georgian Bay. [...]

We aren&#8217;t sure if this came out of our greenhouse or from one of the trees in our yard. It is approximately 2&#8243; long. We live at Moose Pass, Alaska, on the Kenai Peninsula.

This is one of the Prominent Moth Caterpillars, possibly in the genus Furcula.
