Caterpillar on wild ginger - Herpetogramma aeglealis
Copyright © 2010 Beatriz Moisset

Caterpillar on wild ginger - Herpetogramma aeglealis
Opossum Creek Retreat, Fayette County, West Virginia, USA
May 15, 2010
Size: 15 mm
This is its third wild ginger leaf. It still measures 15 mm but it is a lot chubbier, so probably it is a lot longer when fully stretched.
