Please crop your image to a rectangle
that is essentially 'just the bug'. While you as contributor can click on your image and see the full size 2300 pixel image you posted, the rest of us are restricted to a 560 pixel reduction which gives us an image that is about 90% background green and about an inch worth of caterpillar. Very difficult for ID work, and uncropped images are usually deleted from the website, so your data is lost.
