While I was digging up the sweet potatoes I found this little wooly caterpillar in the leaves and carefully set it aside for further study. It will hopefully grow up into a Giant Leopard Moth!
God had fun making insects, undeniably. The larva has long, fur-like shiny bristles and red rings on its skin. The adult is white with black leopard spots, iridescent blue, white, and black legs, and an orange, blue, and black body. What a magnificent creature! It is worth the loss of a few marigolds to find one of these.
