On 9/19 in alt.binaries.pictures.animals a well-known nature photographer,
John White, posted a picture of an Imperial caterpillar. His is almost
olive, but how does it compare to yours, otherwise? John is very precise in
his identifications, he doesn't guess.

Hello, I found this big fellow munching on an azalea in my yard this past
weekend. Can anyone help me with ID? The closest thing I've seen on the
internet so far is the Imperial Moth larvae. I've been watching it evey
day since finding it. I love these things!!!
