Moth caterpillar (Pyrrhia sp.)

Reveler Conservation Area. his is a moth caterpillar in the genus Pyrrhia, one of the Sallows in the Noctuidae family. There are only three Pyrrhia species in North America, but the caterpillars are very variable, so I am not sure which species this is, but am leaning toward P. adela. It was found on staghorn sumac.

Great view of the markings. Looks like he is making quick work of the leaf. V
