Pennsylvania Caterpillar for ID - Acronicta
Nolde Forerst, Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA
August 5, 2017
Found on American Beech Fagus grandifolia. According to Wagner in Owlet Caterpillars of eastern North America p. 277 this may be an undescribed species close to A. increta - at least up to the publication of the book (2011). He describes it as 'consistently smaller and more pale than Eclipsed Oak Dagger (A. increta)...'
