These caterpillars may not be easy to rear to moths. Please read what you need to feed and care for this insect before you keep it as a pet. Like all pets it needs proper food, water and housing.
Thanks

my cousins and i found this catapillar and at first we were scared to touch it. I was the first to touch it and i got to keep it and then i stared to wonder what kind of catapillar it was. The catapillar was in my grandparents back yard on our new apple tree we planted last year. We all agree that it looks like a stick!!Now it my pet for the summer!

This caterpillar is one of the Geometridae family probably Ennominae subfamily of caterpillars. There are many that look like twigs. It is amazing to see them stand out from a tree at an angle and stay so still that they do look like twigs! This is the family that are also called the inch worms as they walk by arching their backs.
These larvae feed on various leaves of woody trees and shrubs. A few are economically important pests of fruit or forest trees.
The adult moths are attracted to lights at night.
