Orange caterpillar with lavender like small wings - Anisota virginiensis
Denham Springs, Livingston Parish, Louisiana, USA

Size: two inches?
It was squiggling around under a Knockout Rose bush and then it grabbed on to a stick and just hung there for a while. I took the photos and when I went back to check on it it was gone.
