Ah! Too bad
We had hoped for an image with more pixels of caterpillar. But it is what it is. Someone may still recognize your beauty. And do a search here for Mocis and look around in that tribe and see what you think

Thanks again!!
I took them with my cell phone so maybe that's it? I have to be honest, I'm not sure what you mean by pixels 😅 I left the 3rd photo larger thinking that's what it meant! I'll look around the site 😊

Yes, sorry
The third photo is larger, has more pixels, but of hands and ground. The caterpillar is exactly the same size. We were hoping you had posted downsized images and that the camera actually had images where the caterpillar was larger. Not a problem, just hoping

Ah!!
That makes total sense!! I never thought how it makes the "outside" of the image bigger, not necessarily the "subject"! Thanks so much for the explanation!! I'll definitely keep that in mind for future photos 😁

Looks to have two pair of abdominal prolegs
That should put this in Euclidiini - something like Mocis. Do you have an image with more pixels that you can add or replace these with.
