Submitted by: Sonrisa198
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The photo submitted was taken right in front of my home. We have a red maple (so we think). We saw at least 7 of these large caterpillars and then found a leaf that underneath was covered with small ones. About 15-20. We noticed that the area in which they were located many of the leaves had been eaten.
