12th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Hickory Horned Devil Caterpillar
While out on my daily "picture walk", I saw this magnificent creature climbing a small branch right on the trail I walk. I had never seen anything like it in my life. I was so enthralled that I spend almost a full hour taking pictures of him. When I got home, I did a google search to find out what it was. It turns out that it is the largest caterpillar in the United States!!!!
