Caterpillar 2 - Orgyia pseudotsugata
Yosemite National Park, Mariposa Grove, Mariposa County, California, USA
August 5, 2006
These were crawling all over the Giant Sequoias in Mariposa Grove, I think its a moth caterpillar, anyone know which kind, they appear to be some sort of Tussock Moth, maybe Douglas Fir Tussock Moth, or at least in the genus Orgyia.
