Salt marsh moth caterpillar? - Pyrrharctia isabella
Delcambre, Iberia Parish, Louisiana, USA
May 7, 2010
a cluster of these caterpillars were found in an overgrown weedy area adjacent to a freshwater pond on one side, and a brackish canal on the other. Given the variability of the salt marsh moth caterpillar, that might be a fit, but looking for confirmation or ideas. Thanks,
b

Pyrrharctia Isabella.
They appear to be all brown, although one has a bit of black on its head.

I think this completes all the unidentified Isabellas, but I'll keep an eye out for any further caterpillars.
