Fingered Dagger Moth
Acronicta insita

Observation date: August 22, 2014
Submitted by: Eelhsa
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I actually first spotted this caterpillar on August 12th (10 days earlier). I don't know for sure if it was the exact same caterpillar, but I did go back to the same Alder and found it there again, bigger of course. I also found a second caterpillar on another Alder bush. (On the 22nd as well).
