Caterpillar on wild grape - Eudryas grata
Barrie, Simcoe, Ontario, Canada
August 10, 2006
Size: about 4.5cm long
Found this caterpillar on wild grape. Eight spotted forester looks a close match for colour but seems much bumpier and hairier than this one.

How about Beautiful Wood Nymph
Eudryas grata - Wagner's(1) photo looks like a good match and he describes it as similar to eight-spotted forester but without the long hairs (setae). He says to 4 cm for size - but caterpillars are hard to measure, being so stretchy.

Here's one from the guide:

Thank you Hannah! That's definitely it - and I actually photographed an adult on that same vine earlier this year. Neat :-)
