I suspect Red-humped caterpillar - Oedemasia concinna

I suspect Red-humped caterpillar - Oedemasia concinna
Limoges, Ontario, Canada
September 26, 2013
Photographed in September of 2013 in Limoges, Ontario Canada. I do suspect the Red-humped caterpillar, but the colour pattern/motif is rather unusual and practically unique... Being novice at identifying caterpillars, I would like and appreciate a confirmation.

Yes, Schizura concinna

Your location data reads "Ottawa, ON Canada, Ontario, Canada" which is very confusing and doesn't include Limoges. Please click on Edit in both images and fix the information in the location fields. The software adds Canada automatically so you need not have that in any field. Also put the date in the date field. If you are not certain of the date and are off by a day or two, that is better than leaving the field blank. Thanks.

 
Schizura concinna
Thank you so very much for the confirmation of the caterpillar photos. Your time and insight is very much appreciated.

PS. I changed the location and added the date photos take as per your request.

Sincerely,

Francine Ouellette

 
Yes, lovely caterpillar
You made some progress on the locations, but you can see it now says "Limoges, ON Canada, Ontario, Canada" which is repetitive. You don't need to put Ontario in two places and you don't need to put in Canada at all since the software adds that automatically. The first slot is for state or province which you handled correctly. The second is for county or District. We're not sure how provinces are divided - maybe that is where Ottawa goes? The third slot is for the most precise location such as town or city. That is where Limoges would go, but not Ontario and not Canada. The software glues all these together to generate a location.
You can also see where the date is blank on this image though it has been filled in on the second image. However the remarks here say 2014 and the date there says 2013. Not sure why there is a conflict there.
This is all small stuff that will become second nature over time, but it is how images are tracked and mapped by the software so it is important to get it correct.
Looking forward to more interesting lovelies from Limoges!

Glad you enjoyed the photos, I do have many more and feel free to browse my website: www.DigitallyStill.com
