I came into work today and my manager quickly showed me a picture a "this huge moth that was out back." And it was the endangered Hickory Horned Devil! It wasn't there when I went to check, she just showed me on her phone.
Any idea why the caterpillar is called the Hickory Horned Devil and the adult called Regal Moth? |

For those of us who don't know what a Hickory Horned Devil looks like...
