Plume moth larva (Geina sheppardi), #6091.1

Rockcliffe Park

Found a few of these larvae feeding on wild grape alongside the trail. This is the time of year to watch for them. Later, the unusually shaped moths will appear. To see the adult: http://www.pbase.com/laroseforest/image/156642910

Excellent detail for this intricately patterned larva. That sure is an odd looking moth, when it's an adult! V.
