Caterpillars and Larva


Dot Moth Caterpillar		 Caterpillars and Larva
It was a close decision whether to include these photos with the adult species or to keep them as a separate section of their own. In the end I decided they deserved a section of their own.

Some of the larger ones were over two inches (5cm) long and as thick or thicker than my middle finger.
