Yellow caterpillar with black spots - Trichiocampus gregarius

Yellow caterpillar with black spots - Trichiocampus gregarius
Irvine Nature Center - Owings Mills, Baltimore County, Maryland, USA
June 19, 2020
Size: Two instars?
I'm assuming that the tree is a cottonwood, but it could be poplar.
No evidence of webs; probably not webworm moth.
