Confused Woodgrain
Morrisonia confusa

Observation date: September 07, 2019
Submitted by: eschermer
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This caterpillar was found in New Haven, CT on the side of a building in an industrial-type area. No grass or plants, mostly weeds growing between sidewalk cracks. I could not identify it and thought it was unique given its color and its large eyes (real or otherwise). Color could be Heterorhabditis bacteriophora but I'm not informed enough to know the difference.
