Hickory horned devil caterpillar

This illustration was on the cover of the Journal of the Lepidopterists’ Society, featuring a very special caterpillar described in one of the Journal’s articles. The hickory horned devil specimen has distinct anatomical features between the two sides of the body—it is a rare occurrence of gynandromorphism, when an individual is male on one side of the body and female on the other. For the article, I worked on a full color illustrated plate with multiple views.
