Virginia ctenucha moth caterpillar

These are quite common around the garden from early spring until late fall. The moths are day-flying and quite striking, with bright orange heads, dashes of bright blue on the thorax, and wings of a dark indigo verging on charcoal. The moths usually start flying in early June, but this year, who knows? Everything is early.

A moth caterpillar beautifully captured with great details! It should become a beautiful butterfly later. V
