Thanks Michelle, Carolyn F., Carolyn C., and Usman.Colorfully cloaked cat's abound during the fall months. Their diversities in color and texture can vary even within like species so accurate identifications can be challenging.
The appearence of large larvae like this one typically indicates that we are nearing the end of the "bug season" for this year. :(
