Skiff moth caterpillar - Prolimacodes badia

Skiff moth caterpillar - Prolimacodes badia
Cross Plains, Dane County, Wisconsin, USA
August 23, 2010
I didn't realize that this was a caterpillar until the next day when I saw that it had completely devoured the chokecherry leaf in the container. The caterpillar was then anchored to the base of the container. I placed several more leaves into the container and the caterpillar started devouring them soon after they were added.
