I wish I was better at ID'ing caterpillars. In my work I'm outside for much of
the day and it's not unusual for me to find caterpillars crawling on me when I
get back inside. The last time I did some mowing, I found 4 different types
crawling on me when I was done!

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.
