Dot-lined White Moth caterpillar - Artace cribrarius
Bayou Bluff Campground, Ozark National Forest, Pope County, Arkansas, USA
May 19, 2009
Size: 1 1/4th inches
This is one of the strangest caterpillars I have seen. Looks like a bald man who let what he has left grow too long. Found in the Ozark forests.
