Caterpillar

Description:

Large, dark, hairy.

Habitat:

Wandering along the stems of my Ribbed gourd (Luffa acutangula). It did not seem hungry and id not munch on the leaves or the developing veggie...or maybe it was looking for a place to pupate. I let it go its way.

Notes:

Maybe it will grow into a destructive moth. Maybe not.
