I spotted this one Friday morning as I was walking about the yard. Another day, another new caterpillar. Amazing. How long can it continue?
The individual I saw doesn't look anything like the picture in my field guide*, a scan of which is shown below.

Fortunately there are online groups for caterpillar identification, otherwise this would have gone into the "caterpillar sp." collection of images on my hard drive.

Lovely images. The author of Caterpillars of Eastern North America is David L. Wagner (rather than Wager).
That is correct! Fixed!
Thank you.
