Woolly BearsHope you can help identify this critter. Photo taken in Everglades National Park. Everybody around here is stumped. Thanks!

Hi Eric,
This is an Echo Moth Caterpillar, Seirarctia echo. We found a match on BugGuide, also from Florida. The adult moth is white with pale tan wing veins and striped legs. Also according to BugGuide, there are only sightings from 8 counties in Florida.

Thank you so much! When I said everybody around here is stumped, I meant just that. My fiance was a temporary park ranger this past summer so she emailed the photo to some park personnel and they are some hard people to stump! So thanks again!
