Hickory Horned Devil v. Fingers of Sausage


Size Comparison

Biggest caterpillar in North America, I'll say. This guy graced a tiny tree next to my driveway. One quiet morning I could have sworn I heard him chomping on that leaf.

I may have sentenced him to an early death by pointing him out to my neighbors. The next day I saw him on a bush next to his favorite "eatin' tree." The day after that he was nowhere to be found.
