Caterpillar - Geometrid - Anavitrinella pampinaria

Caterpillar - Geometrid - Anavitrinella pampinaria
Cross Plains, Dane County, Wisconsin, USA
September 17, 2006
I've seen these before but can't find the ID easily. Thought it would be easier to just send in the photos and request an ID. This is one of those caterpillars that has an excellent camouflage as a stick.
