mogs Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Can anyone give me some information about this huge caterpillar? It was about 4 inches long, had a very fat body and could certainly slither along pretty quick.Is it harmful? many thankspicture resized by a moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris pp Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Giant Peacock Moth (Greater Emperor), Saturnia pyri. I think it's in its second to last stage before pupating, not sure without checking. This is that huge moth, up to 12cm wingspan and possibly more that people are always getting excited about when they find one.[IMG]http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q73/unautremonde/Oddments/SP.jpg[/IMG]Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
