Submitted by: andrewdale1
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Sunny, clear weather. Found far from any specific tree or bush; many other similar caterpillars were also present at the same time. It was crawling towards the wall, presumably to find a place to pupate like others had already done.
