This catipiller looks like a seed pod!


Came home to find this 3 inch creature on the wall by the Palo de Arcos. Looks a lot like the seed pods. Do you know the name?

My wife saw one of these and wrote to an expert for identification. Here is the link to her request and the subsequent identification of the "bug".
