Submitted by: Ken Vickers
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It was a hot,dry day (90 degrees F plus) in the middle of an Ozark hardwood forest next to a 25 year old log cabin. My Jeep had been sitting in one location for several hours, and when we approached it we saw this caterpillar on the driver's side side window. The caterpillar was slowly (barely) moving. Using my thumbnail as a scaling device in another image it seems the caterpillar was about 29 mm in length.
