The Asteroid caterpillar (Cucullia asteroides), #10200

Yesterday, Diane called my attention to an interesting green caterpillar she had found. It certainly looks like a Cucullia moth caterpillar to both of us. We've only seen these in Larose Forest before. Just after posting this, Diane confirmed the ID of the caterpillar as Cucullia asteroides!
