Bride Underwing Caterpillar

== Summary ==
Bride Underwing Caterpilars are an uncommon large caterpillar. They may look alitte scary at first due to thier size, and some of these guys will get defensive if startled. They will move and "flip over" multiple times to scare away a bird or something else that preys on them. They even spit when handled. The spit is likley just semi-digested leaves. Whence you earn their trust, their actually quite friendly! Once I hold them, and they adjust, they become very attached, and can be hard to get them to wander off. These guys do not have spines, but do have some sparsly placed hairs. They are about 2 or so inches long but i never measured them. The grey one pupated last week (Mid June). The brown one will likely pupate by the end of June. They seem to love Walnut leaves. These guys eat and poop alot, so cleaning my be a more frequent thing if you have these guys. They can eat a whole walnut leaflet in one or two nights. These guys appear to be most active at night.
