Hi everyone
I found this catapiller on one of my potted plants outside. I have watched as it slowly is getting bigger and it seems to enjoy the geranium that it's eating. I googled black with orange spots but no luck even with variations for my location , Northern Alberta in Canada. I don't seem able to put my photo's on the title.
Any Guess's?
