Moved
Moved from Butterflies and Moths. Good call. We'll move it there. We don't know how to separate the species yet :(
The description in Wagner, pg 428, makes this sound like C. cordata which he describes as a Bracken feeder. Any Bracken fern nearby?

How about Callopistria
I stumbled across a caterpillar in the genus Callopistria that seems to fit. Any expert want to weigh in?
