Silver-Spotted Skipper Caterpillar - Epargyreus clarus
Norris City, White County, Illinois, USA
August 20, 2007
Size: Approx. 1.5 in. long
Does anybody recognize this caterpillar? It had inverted and melded the old leaf you see it resting on and attached it to the larger leaf the whole melange is sitting on. The larger leaf belongs to a Soy Bean plant.

That Would Make Sense
Because I saw several Silver-Spotted Skippers flying all around that area and landing on the leaves in that vicinity. Thanks!
