Hairy Orange Caterpillar - Megalopyge Weatherford, Parker County, Texas, USA October 17, 2010 Size: about 1 inch long
We saw 2 of these caterpillars on a warm Sunday afternoon in late October in Weatherford, TX. One was crawling on a live oak tree and one was on the house. The one on the house has now made a cacoon. We haven't had any luck identifying them. Anyone with information on these cool caterpillars would be great!
