Milkweed Tiger Moth

Discovered this fellow chomping away on the one lone Milkweed plant in our garden.

really cool creature!

[Maggiemae]

Gracious - he looks quite odd with some black legs and some white! Easily spotted with this sort of appetite!

[Connie Little]

He really stands out with his colouring. Great find and capture.

[Peter Day]

Great shot

[Babs]

He has quite an appetite.

[katy]

Moth or caterpillar? He is very striking and you have caught a great detailed shot of him.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Lou Ann]

Great detail! He should be fatter if he ate that whole side of the leaf. Ha.

[Diane]

The Very Hungry Caterpillar! Nice detail.

[Kathy]

Cool looking critter.

[wendy frost]

Great caterpillar with an appropriate name for his colours.

Thank you Lynn, Maggie, Connie, Peter, Babs, Katy, Kerri, Lou Ann, Diane, Kathy, and Wendy.

@grammyn A caterpillar that will eventually become a moth.
@eudora Absolutely!

@olivetreeann thanks Ann. That's what I thought but I wanted to be sure I wasn't seeing something differently than what you were showing. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@grammyn Neither are mine! haha

[Rob Z]

Great photo of him - he looks like he might sting? Love his colours.

[Nicole Campbell]

He looks like a fierce little creature

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@robz Thanks Rob! I don't think they do, but I'm not going to find out for you either! hehe

@nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole! I'm sure he's supposed to look like that in order to deter the birds from gobbling him up.

[Chris K]

that's a spectacular little guy

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@cruiser Thank you Chris!
