Something Unusual

I stopped by church today to pick up my paycheck. As I was walking up the sidewalk I saw a large green and black bristly object. I figured some little girl had lost her hairbrush. As I got closer it began to move. Here is what I saw:

I Had to get the ladies in the office to look at it so I wouldn't think I was hallucinating. It was HUGE! A quick google told me that it is a Hickory Horned Devil. It turns into a moth. A very large moth. Here is the site I got the pictures from http://www.hilarynelson.com/Hobbies/Bugs/HickoryHornedDevilCaterpillar/

He's got some more pics.

That was my excitement for the day.
