This is the guy that stung me. Anyone have any ideas as to identity? Sorry about the blurriness; I'm really beginning to dislike my Canon Powershot A520's macro focus. Or could it be user error? Naahhh...
Update: Why didn't I think of Googling
before I posted, rather than after? It appears to be an
Io moth, and now I realize I have seen many adults on my cook shed screen door this summer.
He does blend in well. It would be easy to miss him in all the green.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I hope you're recovering well.
ReplyDeleteI'd never have seen him either Deb. Hope it's feeling better today.

ReplyDeleteYikes Deb....those are pretty big caterpillars!
ReplyDeleteI see by the Wikipedia link that the caterpillars release a toxin whenever they're touched. OUCH! Now you'll have to start watching really close to spot those guys in the garden.
