Tussock Moth Caterpillars, Tussock MothsCaterpillar
Hi. I have been trying to identify this caterpillar but have not found a similar one. This one was on an apple tree. Thanks for your help and this is a wonderful site.

What a great photo of a Spotted Tussock Moth Caterpillar, Lophocampa maculata. It prefers willows and poplars, but will feed on many trees and shrubs.
