Found a baby one last year.
I found a large, black wooly worm-like caterpillar on my driveway a couple of weeks ago.
I fed it, and it pupated for me in a glass jar. The moth just emerged, it is a giant leopard moth, just like the picture! So beautiful!

We found this bug outside a Lugnuts Stadium and it was very cool…..it had a lot of people interested, it got me the most because I was like “um…did we just discover like a rare bug?” -lexi,haley- Butt booty -amy-
i found a leopard ” wooly ” caterpillar under a heuchera plant in october. I live in yardley pa. I kept him in a small terrarium., fed him various leaves found around my yard, and today ( 2/11/18 ) he emerged. unfortunately., it’s too cold to release him. i wish he could finish his life cycle but glad i got to see him. he’s really gorgeous.
