Spotted Tussock Moth caterpillar. - Lophocampa maculata
Espanola, Algoma District, Ontario, Canada
August 14, 2006
Size: 1.5in
Found this guy on my bbq scraper, took some photographs and put him back, later it made its cocoon nearby. I regret not taking photographs of that as well. It was there all winter on the side of my house, and survived to become a moth, which I did not get to see!!
