    That's a very ugly-charming face for certain. :D I'm sort of glad it's so small.

    It is the larvae of a Lappet moth, Phyllodesma americana.

    I love his face, it looks like a wizened old man. Are the moths pretty?

    I haven't seen the moth yet, I hope the larvae makes it. It looked neat in Google images.
