I wanted to thank all you very smart people out there, (and you know who you are) who knew and responded to my unidentified photo of a very lavish caterpillar found at Reelfoot Lake.

It turned out to be a Smartweed Caterpillar, Acronicta oblinita  http://bugguide.net/node/view/3223

When it grows up, it will become a Smeared Dagger Moth  Hodges #9272

Very nice, Thanks.
