Found another Hickory Horned Devil Caterpillar just now (that makes 3 I have)... This one is a 2nd instar. The "horns" on it's head now look like horns instead of paddles as on the last image of it I posted... Also, a 1st instar of a "slug" caterpillar... Maybe 2-3mm long... These are venomous, the Hickories are not...

What's the funky critter in the third shot? Most intriguing...
