Northern Giant Flag Moth Larvae - Dysschema howardi
Size: 25 mm
Several relatively young Dysschema howardi larvae. They take on the typical orange and black color pattern after their first molt (roughly 4 days after hatching) and keep it until they pupate. These particular larvae are roughly 2 weeks old and have molted 3 times.
