Hi Donna!
Looks like a Variable Oakleaf Caterpillar so far.. There are 4 pics in this book bc they can be so variable in color and markings. The head is pretty much the same on all the pics though.
:Deb
yep you nailed it Deb. Bottom left looks like it. Guess I shouldn't have been looking when I was to tired. I found the cat at 2 a.m. lol Caterpillars of Eastern North American is the greatest ID book isn't it??
I'm gonna have check that book out! I see many of ya here using it as a reference book for IDing cats/butterflies! Someone tell me the author again, please!???
The author is, David L Wagner.. I need the one for Central NA actually. It would be really good for you to have Becky.
:-D
