It's funny ... I was on here last night reading a post about bugs and then tonight we found a strange bug. My dog actually found it. It was hanging in a bush in the backyard. He was growling and barking at it. My husband said it was a "big leaf" ... and it did look like one, but the way the dog was flipping out I knew it wasn't.
So we snipped the little branch it was on and brought it inside and took some pictures (below) and then put him back out in the bush. I don't know if you can tell by the pictures but he was about 5 inches long.
It'll be a moth/butterfly, sooner or later. Which type I'm not sure of. Some of them get to be around 5-7inches long in that stage before they start cocooning themselves. Here are some cousins: Order: Lepidoptera (butterflies, moths)
Wow meks. I looked up a luna moth caterpillar on google images and that looks exactly like it ... and what a pretty butterfly. Thanks for the info.
you are quite welcome, I'm from here and see these things often
and btw I notice your "Go Rangers", I saw them at Madison Square Gardens play the Toronto Maple Leafs back in '79 ... they lost but it was a good show
