Oops! Yes, the first photo i
Oops! Yes, the first photo is the same (less cropped) as the one I just posted. I'll send the first one to frass. I'm not sure about the ID of the second caterpillar since it doesn't have any visible pink on it, the caterpillar is spikier and the shape seems to be slightly less tapered.
