Emma Goldberg said: [ Regarding Hickory Horned Devil ]

I almost cycled over one of these while on vacation in Washington DC, on Rocky Creek Trail. I took a photo, and an expert at the Insect House in the Zoo was able to ID it for me. I was fascinated by it, and have never seen such a big caterpillar before. While I was sketching it on a postcard, it occured to me that it is pretty similar (except for the horns) to the Very Hungry Caterpillar. Has anyone else noticed the startling resemblance?

That's what the very hungry caterpillar is supposed to be.

Me too! Just found one of these this afternoon in Rock Creek Park while going for a bike ride. Moved the big guy back to the grass & trees since he/she was about to get flattend by a car tire.... What a cool creature; truly the highlight of my day.
