Sally and I found this yesterday. Is this a moth cat? I've seen them before, but I can't recall what kind it is.

Hi Lisa! I believe this is a Pink Striped Oakworm Moth caterpillar. I've only seen one of them before. Pretty thing isn't it? We're finally seeing lots of bugs and butterflys around. They've been pretty scarce until recently.

yes stac, that is it! I found it under our oak tree and now that I remember we found one of those a while back and hatched it out. It was indeed a moth.
