Yes, we understand,
but cropping even more would allow us to see more of the caterpillar. It would probably appear close to twice as large in the new cropped 560 pixel reduction as it now does. The caterpillar on our large screen is currently about three inches and it could be six inches if cropped to a rectangle that was essentially 'just the bug'.

Maybe one of the Heliothinae?
Please crop your posts to a rectangle that is essentially 'just the bug'. While you as contributor can click on your image and see the full size 1100 pixel image you posted, the rest of us are restricted to a 560 pixel reduction. We see a small pink line across a handful of fingers!

 
Crop
I did crop it. I see the caterpillar on the background of 4 fingers.
