Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This caterpillar was on a milkweed plant with a whole clutch of Milkweed Tussock Moth caterpillars. It was not eating the leaf itself, but I did note that it was eating the midrib vein of the leaf after the little MTMs had skeletonized the leaf. It remained on the plant for a couple of days (I had first seen it the previous evening) and then left.
