Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I saw a large caterpillar walking across the road. I stopped to show the kids and noticed it was something that I had never seen before. I posted it on Facebook and had many guesses but very few right answers. After finding out it was a Leafy Spurge eating caterpillar, I decided to return it to some spurge and I picked the right place to stop. There were at least 7 other adults and a bunch of babies. They were doing well at eating the plants and there was not a large population of plants at that location to justify so many caterpillars.
