Harvester butterfly caterpillar (Feniseca tarquinius)

Bonnechere River, ON

The larva of the Harvester butterfly is carnivorous, highly unusual for butterflies in North America, as far as I know. Here the caterpillar is in the midst of aphids on a Greenbrier vine, eating its way through them. There were two larvae on the plant.
