i have a couple of really blurry, grainy photos i took as a child of one that looked a lot like that. for years i assumed it was a luna moth 'cos that was the only thing i could think of remotely that big in its winged form. but apparently there doesn't have to be much relationship between caterpillar size and butterfly / moth size.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.

ReplyDeletePersonally, i find the idea of a bug that thinks, offensive!
ReplyDeleteThis needs something for scale so we can be properly impressed

ReplyDeleteyou might be able to figure out what sorta dude this guy is using discoverlife.org - Caterpillars -- identification guide -- Discover Life
Pretty sure it's a polyphemus moth, like Shar Banning posted, it was over three inches long.
