A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Euclea delphinii
Pale green with 2 pairs of horn like projections with black spines, and 3 pairs of projections in the rear, with shorter projections in between. Can have Orange, Red, or Yellow coloration in the body.
Found on an unknown plant in the scrubby woods between two old fields.
Last photo is of the unknown plant this was found on. It was wrapped in the leaf of one of them, secured with silk of some sort. I have been told by friends that this is a "stinging" type of caterpillar...would love to know if this is true, but I do not handle caterpillars usually.
