I found this on the ground, so don't have a host plant to go by. Anybody have any idea?
Cat ID?
it's not in my book but a very interesting cat.
P
as close as I could come is White-blotched Heterocampa
Linda - Now that's an interesting cat. Not any that I am familiar with. Donna perhaps is pretty close to IDing it. Some of these cats we find are such a mystery until they become an adult moth or butterfly.
Oops...I just repeated Donna's ID :o) White-Blotched Heterocampa (heterocampa umbrata)

It's pretty similar. That could be the kind I saw. Seems like they don't know much about that moth.
Donna and Cat-Good eye!

Oh, but there's also another Heterocampa that looks similar! H. oblique.
