Cecropia Silkmoth Caterpillar

Almost 4 inches long, this bizarre-looking caterpillar will emerge from its cocoon next year as North America's largest moth - the beautiful cecropia silkmoth  Hyalophora cecropia
.

 Thanks to my sister Karen for finding this beauty on the banks of the Speed river in Guelph.



Perhaps I'll be able to add a photo of the moth when it emerges next spring!
