White-Marked Tussock Moth Caterpillar - Orgyia leucostigma
New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
August 23, 2005
Size: 1.5 - 2 inches
I haven't seen this picture around here, perhaps I am wrong. Found this fellow climbing around a leaf, wife is holding it steady.

Actually, we do have several images
in the guide here, but if you could raise one to adulthood, a shot of the adult would be a first!
