Large black hairy larva or carterpillar
Santa Fe, Santa Fe County, New Mexico, USA
October 17, 2020
Size: 4-5cm
Red spots along the side. One, possibly two pair/s of feet at the back, four pairs along the middle, three pairs of black feet at the front.

Found this fellow rolled up on our concrete porch tonight. Little foilage around from which it might have fallen, except a cherry tree shedding for winter.

Small scale is in cm.
