"Bill,

"Sixth instar larvae of Automeris louisiana, approximately (44) days after hatching from ova. Hostplant is Celtis laevigata. The blue-green cast on the dorsum is really attractive. Larvae grow faster and are somewhat larger (2.5") than typical Texas A. io. These larvae are from 1-3 days from becoming pre-pupal and spinning up.

"If these are useful for the website, you are most welcome to use them."
