This huge Giant Leopard Moth caterpillar came to visit my studio as I am finalizing set up for the OCAG Open Studios Tour tomorrow. Just inside, I have a piece hanging that features the amazing moth he will become! “There are no little things. Little things are the hinges of the universe.” ― Fanny Fern My home studio will be open to the public during the 2025 Orange County (NC) Studio Tour, the first two weekends in November. This tour includes more than 100 artists’ studios in Orange County, NC

Came across this little guy, which is a Giant Leopard Moth. As you can see they have these hidden red rings on their body. When threatened they will curl up into a tight ball and expose those bright rings. They don’t cause any harm to people and they aren’t know to cause any allergic reactions/rashes when touched. | Spring Farm CARES Nature Sanctuary
