 My daughter came in the other night all exited about a huge caterpillar in the yard. The way she described it I thought it was a tomato horn worm. No way as tame as that.  WOULD YOU PICK IT UP?  ;D She did, even named it HORNSTY  She was upset because I made her release it. She said the feet had claws and they stuck her hands. I did not feel them but I am used to getting stuck by splinters at work. It is a HICKORY HORNED DEVIL the caterpillar form of the ROYAL WALNUT MOTH. |

When we first moved into our house in Putnam County back in '02, we had several royal walnut moths that year and I think few the next. We were there for 7 years and those first 2 years were the only time I remember seeing them.
Never did see the caterpillar. Very cool!
