Polyphemus Moth Caterpillar (?) - Antheraea polyphemus Peachtree Corners, Gwinnett County, Georgia, USA August 22, 2017
Polyphemus Moth caterpillar (Antheraea polyphemus) (?)
Observed in hardwood leaf litter. When I re-positioned the caterpillar for a photo it regurgitated a brown liquid (presumably a defense mechanism).
