Morning-glory Prominent (Schizura ipomoeae), #8005

Reveler Conservation Area

This is the back view of the caterpillar in the two following images (click next). It is beautifully patterned and yet it can mimic a dead leaf edge perfectly. This was on a basswood tree at the Reveler Conservation Area.
