i saved the coolest and largest caterpillar today. he was trucking along the parking lot at work in the blazing sun. i was scared he would fry or be squished by a car, so i picked him up and moved him over to the woods beside the building. but he was an amazingly beautiful thing....bright green and fleshy, but he had a brown fuzzy face..and he was about 4 inches long and about 1/2 inch around..now that's big for a caterpiller! i haven't seen anything like it before! anybody know much about bugs?
i wonder what type of butterfly he will become.
After researching....
I found him! He will be a Luna Moth. They are beautiful!! And apparently rare these days.
Have a look..

They only live for about a week, and their only purpose is to mate.
but good rescue, not enough people take the time.
