Massive caterpillar, St. John, US Virgin Islands

The scale is not so clear in this picture, but this caterpillar was nearly three inches, and as it walked the spike on the back bobbed up on down by ninety degrees.  This one was walking alone, but a few days later on the other side of the island, I saw trees stripped bare by hundreds of them.
