Hag moth caterpillar (Phobetron pithecium), #4677

Reveler Conservation Area

Who'd ever think this little critter was a moth caterpillar! It looks more like an exoskeleton of a tarantula than something that will become a moth!

It does sort of look like a tarantula, pretty scary to me, but an excellent closeup of it. V.
