Can anyone ID this caterpillar. He was on a milkweed.
Caterpillar ID
Sorry, I don't know it.

This picture of the Gold moth cat looks a lot like yours. Tell me what you think.

Have you gotten an ID yet? I am curious too :)
Finally I found the caterpillar. I kept going back to the one Josephine had and just wasn't quite sure of it.
It is a Dogbane Saucrobotys Moth cat.

This is the site that I ran across that set me onto the caterpillar ID: http://www.helpfulgardener.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8933
Thank you for your help.

Glad you found it, and thank you for the link.
