Banded tussock moth caterpillar (Halysidota tessellaris), #82013

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

This year the banded tussock caterpillars seem to be particularly abundant, though I have not found many at the FWG (only two on the 19 Sept), but there are very likely a lot more than just a few at the garden. One day in Larose Forest I counted over 200. They are variable in colour ranging from this pale yellow, to a rich deep yellow, to white, to gray.
