anyone know what species this is?
Some moth larva.
Cecropia moth caterpillar.....they are freaking awesome. If you can, then keep it until it cocoons and becomes the moth. Then obviously release it because we want many more of them!! Lucky you!
Aren't they big and beautiful?
UGH I WAS SO MAD i accidentally stepped on one of those. it had really, rally bright florescent green blood. i didnt even notice i did it at first, and i tried sooo hard to avoid it. i was so sad :/
That would be a Caterpie: Its voracious appetite compels it to devour leaves bigger than itself without hesitation. It releases a terribly strong odor from its antennae.
