unusual banded larvae - Ptilodactyla
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
May 12, 2006
Size: about 12 mm
Tail topside

I suppose, in view of my mimickry speculation, I should have taken a photo of a larva in the fully curled position. Maybe I will. That will take digging around in the chip/chunk pile again because the ones I brought indoors have already pupated (pix to be posted soon).
