Linden Prominent - Hodges#7930 - Ellida caniplaga
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
July 4, 2007
Found feeding on a basswood tree. Wagner, in Caterpillars of Eastern North America, points out that these caterpillars are very variable. Field marks are the two black spots on the head low hump on A8, a second black spot behind the antennae including stemmata and four thin stripes along the side of the body.
