Description

I know this may look like a Luna Moth Caterpillar (Seen here: [link] ) but I can assure it is not. This is a Polyphemus Moth larva and as you might guess it is a very close cousin to the Luna and and about as common.

Scientific Name: Antheraea polyphemus
Family: Saturniidae
Subfamily: Saturniinae
Tribe: Saturniini
