Underwing moth (genus Catocala) from caterpillar to adult

Underwing moth (genus Catocala) from caterpillar to adult

Steve Deaver collected a large caterpillar in the LaGrange area in early April 2015. We raised it to see the adult it produced, and we got a species of Underwing moth, genus Catocala. I wish to thank  Dr. B. Christian Schmidt, Research Scientist at the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids & Nematodes.

Here is the moth, fresh from its cocoon. The caterpillar pupated inside leaves rolled together. Notice even the eyes have scales, and the leg is camouflaged too.
