Almost hairless caterpillar - Spiloloma lunilinea
5 miles north of Marengo, Orange County, Indiana, USA
September 11, 2011
Size: estimated: 5 cm
a somewhat dull and almost hairless caterpillar. There are some very small and sparse hairs around the feet. the legs are very strong when gripping onto a rough surface, especially an edge. Curious about an ID for this one. thanks, ~~~^^^larry^^^~~~ PS: will post 2 other pics here, and there are more, if needed.

We're thinking this is Spiloloma lunilinea
Wagner - Owlets page 168. Feeds on Honey Locust. Even though the head is not really in focus, it does have that three part light spot.
