Monkey Slug Caterpillar - Phobetron pithecium
Seymour, Sevier County, Tennessee, USA
September 18, 2007
I found this caterpillar on a maple leaf last week and thought it was a very cool looking creature. I have had it in a jar with a maple leaf ever since I found it. Its grown quite a bit since I have had it. Im guessing you cant tell by looking at a caterpillar whether its a male or female.
