Here is a caterpillar that I found on the wed and downloaded the picture a few years back and cannot find the name or where I got the picture from. Love the look of this guy, looks like a dogs toy. If someone knows the name of this species I would be grateful for the information. Rich  |

Probably one of the Polythysana genus (Saturniidae family) from Chile.

Your right Bill. I went on your web site and looked up Polythsama from Chile and there it was. I must have gotten the picture off your site years ago. Tried Google but it only comes up with plastics. Thank,
Richard

Hello Fernando,
That great! You must live in Chile? If you ever get extra ova and want to trade for something from Northern California please let me know. Thanks for the reply.

PS. Just looked at Bill's Oehlke site and see your pictures there.
