Caterpillar - Datana major

Caterpillar - Datana major
Maringouin, Iberville Parish, Louisiana, USA
August 30, 2006
Note to Phillip Chaon and Hanna M.Mason -- The caterpillars you generously identified for me a few days ago are making a change. I thought you might like to see it. i kept 5 of the little beasts and introduced the others to a Lyonia lucida bush (Heath family) -- they didn't miss a beat, just kept on eating. Jacques

Great!
Looks like the stripes they had before (below) have become spots!
