Possibly Automeris metzli Caterpillar
Dear Keli,
This is a Giant Silkmoth Caterpillar, probably in the genus Automeris, and quite possibly Automeris metzli which is pictured on Project Noah. Caterpillars in the genus can sting.
The post Automeris Caterpillar from Mexico appeared first on What's That Bug?.
