February 2006 Unknown

THIS MONTH'S WINNERS:

Our February, 2006 mystery organism was attempted by only three viewers, but, unfortunately, they were not correct to genus level. Two people identified the caterpillar as that of a related species of Giant Silkworm Moths (Saturniidae), the Luna moth, Actias luna. Close, but no caterpillar.

Please note: Prize winners are now drawn each month from the total pool of correct answers for that month.

Thanks to all of those who submitted an entry to this contest.
