Dark-spotted palthis caterpillar (Palthis angulalis), #8397

Reveler Conservation Area

On goldenrod. A rather nondescript caterpillar, and if you are wondering, the head is at the bottom, pointing down. It does turn into an interestingly shaped moth, however: http://www.pbase.com/laroseforest/image/160892647

This guy isn't all that attractive but this is a fine photo of him and his setting. Vote.

seems a bit of a smudge alright, still some way from the delta shaped moth it morphs into..
