The inspiration behind "Cootie"

Meet the Polyphemus Catepillar.


He has a face only a mother could love. He crossed our paths in our driveway on this lovely September 1 afternoon. Fortunately he likes to travel alone or the mess would be horrific!This thing is over 3 inches long and likes to eat just about every tree and shrub in my yard. When he emerges from his chrysalis he should have a wing span of over 5 inches. Imaging that hitting your windshield! Ewwwww.

His backside is decorated too:


Happy almost Fall!
