Eastern Tent Caterpillar Moth
Malacosoma americanum

Observation date: April 13, 2016
Submitted by: Angelove1972
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: We found this caterpillar in between our sliding glass door and the screen. That leads out to our back deck, which does have some plants. Since, I do not believe that the picture that I attached has any watermark since I took the photo with my cell phone. But, if possible could you put my 4 year old name. Which is Michael Lane. I do know that he would love to have his name attached to the photo of his caterpillar. which we are going keep in a mason jar for him to see the stages of the life cycle if the caterpillar.
