Thread OP

Saw this insect on my deck this AM, thought it was a piece of garbage until it started moving.

It is not listed as an invasive species on my states' (CT) website.....

If you need to relax, grow plants!!

Possibly some kind of moth larvae or caterpillar?

Welcome to the site!

Maybe a Saddleback Caterpillar.

Sure looks right to me! Have only had one once here.

Plant it and they will come.
