Euclea delphinii, 10 April 2013

Euclea delphinii, the Spiny oak slug moth;
Lowndes county, Georgia (10 April 2013).

A funky photo of a funky species. This is a Spiny oak slug moth, a moth of Family Limacodidae that sports fairly fantastic lime-green patches. The species ranges throughout much of the eastern United States. They’re quite small and perhaps easy to miss. To date, I’ve only seen (“noticed”) a couple of them.
