St. Andrews caterpillar unknown 1 - Baltodonta broui
Laurinburg, Scotland County, North Carolina, USA
June 7, 2016
I collected several plants, and this caterpillar was bi-catch. It was on Styrax when I found it a bag of mixed plants, but it doesn't seem happy on Styrax. I'd love to know what this is so I can feed it properly. Any information would be much appreciated.

Being Described
This is a middle instar of a species that is being described in the next Notodontidae Fascicle. It does indeed feed on Styrax so there must have been some other reason for the unhappiness.

An early or mid instar notodo
An early or mid instar notodontid, I think. Based on head capsule markings, maybe a Lochmaeus?
