Tussock Moth Caterpillarswhite-bristled woolly bear?
Hi Lisa Anne and Daniel, I am unused to seeing white bristles
on woolly bears such as this one from central WY. Surely
it is an Isabella Tiger moth? I saw two on the same
peachleaf willow. Thanks,
Dwaine
Hi Dwaine,
This is actually a Spotted Tussock Moth Caterpillar, Lophocampa
maculata.

Dwaine,
Saw your photo of a L. maculata caterpillar from WY. Am doing a research project on this species and would like to get exact location, etc. Please contact me at kgs@lclark.edu. Thanks
