you are right though, the are quite soft. I am used to things with knobs and hairs and bumps and stinging spines on critters that get 3-5" long!!
I know I said poly in post but the second one was a luna cat. they look amazingly similar as cats and so totally different as adult moths. That's one of the cool, and strang, things about those two. The luna is green with long tails and the poly is shades of brown and has amazing "blue" eyes on their wings, yet as larva the only difference is one has a brown head and the other green, and the spiracular line and segment markings are slightly different. They do have very different "personalities" though! The luna are rather rambuncious and the poly's are very peaceful as cats.
OK, this is a cham forum! The photo of the luna was taken with a a Nikon Coolpix 4300, which I broke in July and replced it with a Nikon Coolpix 7600. The two cecropia photos were taken with that one. The nice thing about the cats are that they stay in one place so it is rather easy to get quite close.
