Spiders, Tussock MothsHi Bugman
Hi,
We are in Michigan and took pics of these 2 bugs. We would like to know what kind of caterpillar this is. This one was found in the cosmos flowers. We have a lot of these caterpillars like this right now. Hopefully it is going to be a beautiful butterfly. The other pic is some kind of weird spider, we think. It looks like it is making the web, or trying to get out.
Thanks,
Linda
Hi Linda,
Your spider is a Long Jawed Orb Weaver in the genus Tetragnatha. Tetragnatha laboriosa is a common species that ranges throughout the U.S. Your caterpillar is either a Tiger Moth or Tussock Moth.
