Being that we live in pretty much the middle of nowhere we see lots of different types of wildlife. Today Eric and the retail guys in Waitsfield found this giant caterpillar.
After snapping a few shots, I hopped on to Google and found this very useful site which helps in identifying caterpillars and it turns out this big guy is a Cecropia moth. it’ll eventually turn into something that looks like this:
Pretty cool, huh!

Hey, thanks for posting this. A friend and I found one of these giant caterpillars outside his apartment building and also wondered what it was. We named ours Christopher. Anyway, we did a google image search for “giant caterpillar” and lo and behold, your posting came up. Neat! PS> We live in Toronto, Canada. Didn’t expect such “wildlife” here!
it is nice
