Lichen-patterned caterpillar - Zale Winchendon, Massachusetts, USA August 7, 2009
On the trunk of a red maple in a red maple swamp, near a patch of lichen that looked very much like the caterpillar. There was another one on a birch trunk nearby. I'm pretty sure it's a noctuid, but haven't been able to find a perfect match.
