Silver-spotted Skipper Caterpillar - Epargyreus clarus
Daphne, Baldwin County, Alabama, USA
September 8, 2010
I didn't think Pig Boy would ever pupate. This cat completely ingested 7 large Hyacinth Bean Vine leaves. No telling how many it had eaten when I found it. Even in this pre-pupal stage, it mustered enough energy to fold back and tack its leaf fortress.
