Hickory Horned Devil
My cat found this creature on the paito, a hot dog-sized caterpillar of the Regal Moth. He is absolutely harmless but his horns and his colors are pretty impressive. I think he had fallen out of his Hickory tree and was looking for leaf litter to pupate in. Taken in Inverness, Florida
