Luna Moth caterpillar?

16 years ago

Hi all. I'm a little bummed that we let a Black Swallowtail caterpillar escape our garden...thought he'd hang around longer than he did. But my hubby found this fella while out working this afternoon. Pretty sure he's Actias Luna...never had one before and in all honesty I have never seen a Luna Moth in person before. So I'm pretty excited!

I'd appreciate all the info you have to offer about this guy.

I also have a feeling that being in MN we once again will be housing a caterpillar over winter. I'm okay with that. :)

Sorry about the poor quality pics.

Thanks for any input you all can send my way!
