New Creation

 
Photo taken in my yard this weekend.  Do you know what kind of caterpillar it is?

New Creation

 Ah. but to be a butterfly upon a tea leaf,
to decipher the hieroglyphics upon a wing,
or trust the darkness of transformation.

 I bow to the god before me,
and drink the essence of
beauty's sweet nectar.

from Looking Deeply into Tea
by Shelley and Bruce Richardson

    It is big! I have no idea what type...some type of moth larva would be my guess.

    How lovely it is! I have no idea, but I hope you get to see it emerge into a butterfly!

    I have no idea. If you know [and you probably do], please tell us.
    Shelley's poem is beautiful.

    I searched the internet and couldn't find it. I'm sure it's a moth though. Nice post Marilyn.

    According to all the pics I've seen, it's a Luna Moth. But then it's said their habitat is in the north eastern states. We have luna's here in the mid west, so I'm stumped!

    Only caterpillar I recognize on sight is from the Monarch butterfly, and this is certainly not one of those. It is quite pretty though.

    I don't know, but I sure do love it. I picture it as a butterfly all orange and chartreuse. Just beautiful.
