Yes the green thing. I've been googling pics and it does look like a type of caterpillar that gets "hairy" but maybe too small right now for hair? I use organic plant food but no chemicals. I'm so tempted to feed it to Chloe. It's now in a cricket keeper so I can see what this bad boy does....I'm curious to see if those round things are poop or eggs lol
Its quite a plump little thing.
Indeed. It's feasting on my beloved hibiscus flower so it should be! Chloe would tear it up
I'm gonna feed it to her, she'll be so excited lol
Just remember to get frequent fecals done when feeding wild bugs.Indeed. It's feasting on my beloved hibiscus flower so it should be! Chloe would tear it up
I got to thinking about that. Perhaps I shouldn't feed it to her?
As long as she is health and you get the fecals done I think it would be fine.
I am, lol! It's already in a cricket keeper with possible eggs/poop. I wanted to throw it in the garbage disposal but the dork in me is so curious to see what it turns into, and if it has in fact already laid eggs. I tried but can't throw away a perfectly good interesting species!!
Looks like an Io larva. Feed it until it pupates, and the moth will emerge later. The cagterpillar spine can cause irritation.
Ooohhh that is beautiful. I've never seen one like that, very cool
You are correct, thank you! This pic came up and that's exactly what it is. I'm in Texas...
Funny you say that because in all the other pics that came up on google it showed them covered in ants. What's that about?
