You know the old saying, "Four Cecropia are better than none."
Here is a photo of four large caterpillars removed from a fernleaf buckhorn plant at Liberty National Bank on Saturday. The Cecropia Moth (Hyalophora cecropia) is North America's largest native moth, having a wingspan of 5 to 6 inches.
The wings of the giant silk moths are brown with some white and "eyes." The large caterpillars were removed from the bank's plant and transported to a maple tree in the country, hoping the life cycle will continue for these moths and one day, perhaps, be seen by someone.
The photo below shows what these caterpillars will eventually become.
