Fuzzy Cat - Estigmene acrea
Enumlcaw, Forested Unincorporated King County, Washington, USA
September 4, 2009
Size: 24mm
Look at its cute little feet! I found this caterpillar in the grass under some large trees. It's funny, I've lived here for a long time and I haven't ever tried to figure out what kind of trees we have. How lame of me. :) If a type of tree might be needed to identify this caterpillar, then I will find out for you. Please let me know.
