Black and Orange Caterpillar
Hi John,
I placed a couple of photos in ID Request a few days ago of a orange and black caterpillar with long white hairs similar to yours. I observed it on some willow in my yard at Aspendell, near Bishop, CA. Hadn't gotten any info on it yet so thought I'd take another look at the images....hadn't gone all the way to page 83. I haven't seen this before so maybe you could check out my pics. Thanks.
