Field Notes

Description:

I found this large moth on my chilrens plahouse in our backyard. The spoon next to it is a large table spoon. I found this large grouping of caterpillars on the tree next to it. The next day the moth was gone and the last photo shows what was left of the caterpillars.

What a cool moth! Here is my reference link: http://bugguide.net/node/view/311450/bgpage Could you make the caterpillars into a different spotting as they are not the same species?
