Automeris io eggs and 1st instars - Automeris io
New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana, USA
July 31, 2003
Size: very small
These eggs were on a willow leaf. Then, while I had the leaf in my house, they hatched out. The little caterpillars, which aggregate until their very last instars, were following each other nose to tail around the pinning tray.
