Hickory Tussock Moth Larva - Lophocampa caryae? - Acronicta americana
The Forks, Maine, USA
September 19, 2010
This is (obviously) a different individual that I found a few days later. I linked it to the other images because I don't know what it is either! Perhaps Acronicta americana? I'd really appreciate it if anyone can clarify for me.

I unlinked this one from the other two,
because linking is reserved for images of the same individual.

This one looks different, because it is:-)
Compare with this one.

Thanks
Thanks for confirming. :) Is the tuft pattern the best ID feature?
