Welcome to Project Noah,AdrianLeathers
We hope you like the site as much we do; there are many features you can explore:
We invite you to go to http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you will find the purpose and “rules” of Project Noah.
There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms.
There are also the chats for help with identification, and to comment on your own and others’ spottings.
Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions
Enjoy yourself here, see you around!
great sugestion! I think It might be a chinese oak silkmoth (Antheraea pernyi), the pattern seems pretty close. Although it's not sitting on an oak tree but then again they might eat different plants.
It looks like a Tussar Silk Moth Caterpillar, but I'm out of my range here -- might be a good place to start your search of an ID though!
Thanks a lot!
What a beautiful caterpillar! Welcome to Project Noah Adrian!
