tinamanley > SOUTH CAROLINA, YORK:  Imperial Moth caterpillar, Eacles imperialis. The full-grown caterpillar is 75-100 mm long. It occurs in two color forms, green and brown. In the green form (pictured), the head is orange-yellow with vertical black or dark stripes on sides and front. The thoracic legs are yellow. The body is green and thinly clothed with long whitish hairs. The second and third thoracic segments each bear a pair of stubby, rough yellow horns, and rows of smaller yellow spines occur along the body to the rear. The spiracles along the sides are large, oval and pale yellow to cream in color. When fully grown, larvae leave foliage and pupate in the soil. Two broods may possibly occur each year; however, the caterpillar is most commonly seen in August and September.
