My husband ran across this creature hiking in the jungle. We don't know if it's a large caterpillar of some kind or what it might be, I'm sure someone out there knows what it is.
Wow! Stunning
beauty!
He is 5-6" long and about as round as a nickle.
what is the size??
A moth caterpillar, likely a wild silk moth (Saturniidae) by the size and 'horns'.
