Below are some of the venomous caterpillar images I have... There are still more I am looking to get (Puss caterpillar for one)... I have to find some of the older examples so it may take awhile to fully show all of them...

I love these! Never seen most of them.
Is late summer/early fall the best time to visit your part of the country to see them? Or do they appear in the Spring/Summer as well?

I find more at this time of year than I do in the Spring. I found another Saddleback on my Hibiscus this afternoon & another Rose Slug this morning over in the neighbors yard.

I have to say that these photos are outstanding but then again all your photos are. It is photographers like yourself here on UHH that got me interested in this and real close-up photography so I thank you all for that. Again beautiful work. I post most of my photos in the close-up section since they are not quite 1 to 1 photos....Rich
