[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 143793, member: 12214"] 4-30-13: I took advantage of a sunny afternoon after work. For some reason, I seem to be getting a lot of robin photos. I think this is one of my better ones. [B]What Was That?[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]34878._xfImport[/ATTACH] I saw this caterpillar on a fence post. I love how this guy is backlit in the second photo. When I researched to find out what species of moth it is supposed to turn into, all references indicate that this guy is the larval stage of the silver-spotted tiger moth. What confused me was that from what I have read, the silver-spotted tiger moth is a western North American moth, not normally found in Eastern North America. I would really appreciate it if someone can tell me definitively what type of moth caterpillar this guy is. TIA.
