caterpillar - May 7 - Lithophane

caterpillar - May 7 - Lithophane
Cross Plains, Dane County, Wisconsin, USA
May 7, 2012
Fairly certain that this is a Eupsilia caterpillar based on pinkish color, the way it curves and that it was found in a honeysuckle shrub. Four days later I find that my certainty was completely wrong. The caterpillar is a Lithophane. This is an incomplete life cycle since the caterpillar did not form a pupa.
