Pine imperial moth (Eacles imperialis pini), #7704

Larose Forest

Found this large silkmoth caterpillar trundling across a forest road. Second one I've seen this year, but the other was injured and almost dead, sadly. This one was in great shape! It turns into a stunning pink and yellow giant silkmoth: https://pbase.com/image/169526247
