I had a hard time ID'ing that one too, Larry. Maybe Rich or someone else can
help with it.
I've been seeing several kinds of caterpillars over the past week - Monarch,
Viceroy, Snowberry Clearwing Moths, and Milkweed Tussock Moths. I have them in
"critter cages" to show some of my students on Monday. I'm sure the Monarch
will be in a chrysalis by then. It will be interesting to see how the others
do. The milkweed moth died. I need to read what the Snowberry Clearwing
caterpillars do, if they overwinter as a cocoon or what the last generation of
the year does. I'll pass on any information I come across.

We saw this Xanthorhoe sp. at the Roan Mountain Fall Naturalist Rally at Roan
Mountain State Park in Carter County, TN.
I'm not sure if it's 07368 Labrador Carpet (Geometridae) - X. labradorensis or
07369 - X. pacardata.
