pale beauty caterpillar in winter - Campaea perlata

pale beauty caterpillar in winter - Campaea perlata
Framingham, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
February 1, 2012
Size: about 2cm long
Found this caterpillar walking around on top of a trash bin in my backyard today. It looks like Campaea perlata to me. It was an oddly warm 61'F this afternoon and I suspect that helped, but I see no bugguide records anywhere in the USA for this species in February so confirmation would be appreciated!
