Caterpillar [=Asterocampa? celtis??] ID Request - Asterocampa
Herring Run Park, Baltimore City County, Maryland, USA

Observed on a Celtis sp. [=occidentalis?]

Is this an immature Hackberry Emperor, as I suspect?

Asterocampa
Almost certainly Asterocampa, but I'm not sure of the species--it seems that multiple species feed on Celtis. Someone more experienced may be able to help you.
