Tufted caterpillar

16 years ago

Might anybody know what this caterpillar is, found in the underbrush alongside a grassy trail through deciduous woods in southeastern PA?

I think I may have found it. Tell me if it's not a Sycamore tussock moth caterpillar.

I've seen this kind of caterpillar in our garden before. You're looking for the name of this caterpillar but what about the name above the picture?

After my original query, I came up with the ID that I placed on it, but I'm hoping that somebody will tell me if I'm wrong.

be very careful of any caterpillars with spines in tufts. Some of them have poisonous spines that can deliver a very painful sting.
