Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Caterpillar was climbing on Butterfly Bush (Buddleia). (I am now reading several articles that Checkerspot caterpillars can use Buddleia or Butterfly Bush as a host plant during later caterpillar instars but not for early instars.) First year host plants including Sticky Monkeyflower and Penstamon also growing nearby in organic pollinator garden.
