Posted this back in October and it hatched out today, after almost 4 months. I thought it was a Luna moth caterpillar but it turned out to be a Polyphemus moth. I'll turn it loose tomorrow to see if it can find a mate before it dies.I found this one on the side of an oak tree yesterday and put it in a jar to watch it make a cocoon, which it has already started. Luna moth caterpillar. It's about 4" long when stretched and the spots on the side sparkle like copper in the sun.

Update: I checked on the caterpillar a few minutes ago and it has already spun it's cocoon. Read that the moth only lives for 7-10 days after it hatches out and it does not eat, it's mouth is not even functional.

I ended up swapping the frog for something else. It’s a good time if the conditions are right. They were not this morning plus we didn’t fish any trees or vegetation. If it starts raining, I’ll tie one on fast. Mainly threw a spinnerbait, crankbait and shaky head today.You really going to be tossing a frog bait? Seems early for that, or have I missed something my whole life?
That looks like a pre-tourney prep night. Must be a serious outing.
Thursday killed it.
I freaking loved it.
I took this video from one of their encore songs
Not the entire song, but about 2.5 minutes of it, most of it. Was getting more rowdy behind me, i needed to put phone away
On the way home I reset my mpg - highest Ive ever seen. Was about 8 higher than my trip up when I was really pushing the speeds, I just cruised on home today
On 58 in Virginia, saw this and thought it was just a beautiful sight
Got home and saw this! DOUBLE. RAINBOW!
Got home and saw this! DOUBLE. RAINBOW!
Saw the same on the way home from fishing at Lake Norman. What a beautiful sight!!! We even saw the end of both
Nothing like some fresh oysters right out of the creek!Fishing has been a bust! But somehow we managed to have a good day anyway.
Morning hike around the island

Looks like some good sleep right there.
She did wake up about 30min after I got there. I feel important, they have armed security just like Secret Service.Looks like some good sleep right there.
