Dear Aaron,
Despite its fierce appearance, the Hickory Horned Devil is perfectly harmless. This individual has grown to its maximum size, so it left the hickory, walnut or other food tree and it is searching for a suitable place to dig beneath the surface of the ground to pupate.
Thank you so much you helped a lot I let him go yesterday where I found him.
