White-Spotted Prominent (Nadata gibbosa) In a disturbed area at the edge of a dense mixed hardwood/coniferous forest in NW Georgia (Gordon County), US.<br />
<br />
This individual was not at all happy to be photographed (I tried to move it for a better shot) and began defensively lashing at me!<br />
<br />
Also of note, one could observe hemolymph (the purple) being pumped through the body! It was pulsating visibly!<br />
