Western Tussock Moth
See Orgyia vetusta in guide.

Also since you're at Berkeley take a look at photos I took on the side of the Valley Life Sciences Building that Bob Patterson put up here. If this year is like last year, you should soon be able to see all this going on on the uphill side of the north-east staircase (and on the coast live oak that's near it).
