Specimen NO. 917 | Saddleback Caterpillar
[Calosoma wilcoxi]
Adult beetles hunt caterpillars. Several accounts associate the presence of these beetles with the demise of cankerworms and the end of their devastating outbreaks in natural forest settings.
SPECIAL THANKS
to the Museum of York County
for their generous permission to paint right there in their Naturalist Center—so I could experience these beautiful creations up close and personal.
