Orange-tipped oakworm moth
Anisota senatoria

Observation date: August 25, 2013
Submitted by: treichard
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Several of these caterpillars were found on a paved path, but most were squashed and dead. This one was alive and was found under a tree with the leaf shown. Didn't find any caterpillars on the leaves near eye level, so I'm not certain if it's the host plant.
