Caterpillar from Arabia Mtn, Georgia, USA, 5-14-19 - Alypia octomaculata
Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve, Lithonia, DeKalb County, Georgia, USA
May 14, 2019
Found on a railing on a boardwalk bordering Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve, a granite monadnock. Wondering if it's related to Basilodes sp?

Alypia octomaculata…
In Georgia, the very similar species, A. wittfeldii, can only be found along the coast.

See reference here.

 
Thanks!
Oh, very cool! Appreciating the ID
