Observation notes: It was unseasonably warm this year for December. There were 3 larvae feeding on Salix caroliniana. They were mildly active, did not show any drop defense behavior, if any at all. I took one of the larva home for rearing to confirm it's species as a moth, however, it had been parasitized by what I believe was a tachnid fly.
