Unknown Caterpillar - Eacles imperialis

Unknown Caterpillar - Eacles imperialis
Montrose, Laurens County, Georgia, USA
September 23, 2009
Size: 30+ mm
I thought this would be easy to ID, wrong, as usual. This hefty-looking beastie looks to be in trouble to me. It hardly moved at all, much like the other parasitized cats I have seen. As well, the eyes seem to be clouded over.
