Hag moth caterpillar (Phobetron pithecium), #4677

The very active hag moth caterpillar was crawling all over the basswood leaf and here you can see it moving along the leaf. the head is, unusually, exposed here.

Looks like a cross between a caterpillar and an octopus.

A very interesting caterpillar. I agree, seems to have a personality of his own! Nice light and excellent shot. V

I agree with Helen. This point of view gives it character - reminds me the TV alien Alf.

A great angle to show this moth that almost looks like an octopus.
