Well technically a larvae but the largest one I've seen. It was crossing our little gravel road. Looking it up it is a Cecropia Moth, North America's largest native moth with wingspans up to 6". It was every bit the size of my forefinger. They're most commonly found on maple trees but are known to feed on cherry and birch. So I picked the little fellow up and placed it on a maple.  No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | ||

Green! And with orange, yellow, and blue prongs! Thanks for the photo. Serious about crackers. | |||

I saw one like that last week, but it was sort of reddish-orange. Can't deny, it scared me a little bit!  Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around. — — — — — — — — — — — — God bless America. | |||

Reminds of the tobacco horn worms that I saw as a kid many, many years ago. Those things are massive, easily as big as the OP's picture. ---------------------------------- "These things you say we will have, we already have." "That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra." | |||
