This is the Moth and the larvae....My boss and I hand raised about 50 of them a few years ago and turned them loose in some pecan Trees.View attachment 709484
I don't know if it's real or AI....
According to ZME Science, what you see here is the amazing caterpillar of the Saturniidae moth. The Saturniidae family includes the largest moth species, which are generally characterized by heavy bodies covered with hair-like scales, lobed wings, reduced mouthparts, and small heads. Most species live in tropical and subtropical areas, but some have also adapted to temperate climates. This one, however, is truly spectacular. The saturation of this image has been enhanced; the actual color is not quite as vivid. Nevertheless, it is breathtaking nature that even AI could not top... Thank you for sharing this image.View attachment 709484
