Milkweed Tussock Moth - Hodges #8238 -
Euchaetes egle
Wildwood Park; Radford, Virginia, USA
August 22, 2010
Size: 20mm?
I am assuming that this is a stinging caterpillar - didn't touch it to find out! I'd like an ID, please. Found it on the underside of a common milkweed leaf.

Thank you, roar. Milkweed tussock definitely makes sense!
