Hi hubops,

one distinguishing "feature" of the caterpillars in my garden (and
absent in the cecropia) is that it's back is *not* segmented, it looks
somewhat like a turtle shell; this picture shows this very clearly:

after Googling for caterpillars *a*lot* the only one I've found that has
this same "feature" is the saddle-back caterpillar!

[]s,
