Saddleback Caterpillar - Acharia stimulea

Saddleback Caterpillar - Acharia stimulea
Doddridge County, West Virginia, USA
September 4, 2006
Size: about 15mm
First one I've seen in WV. I cut the Rose leaf and place it on a paper plate.
(No, it wasn't touched...know better due to an encounter years ago in Florida)

Head to the left.

May wish to edit - Both images currently
say "head to the right" although they are reverse images of each other.

 
Done!
Thanks...had a "senior" moment.
