I spotted this beautiful caterpillar on my side porch and would love to know more about it. Love your site. Keep up the good work!

Hi Jennifer,
Your caterpillar sure looks like a Hickory Tussock Moth Caterpillar, Lophocampa caryae, to us. You can compare your individual to images posted to BugGuide.
Thank you so much for your help. I’m always amazed by what is right in front of you if you just bother to look. Bugs rule!
