Cutworm moth caterpillar (Xestia sp.)

Shaw Woods

Found on a white pine which is the preferred food of Xestia badicollis. This caterpillar could be X. badicollis, but the Xestia's look alike, so I'll see if Bug Guide can help out here.

Yuck yuck... I get squeamish looking at caterpillars. Nice shot though.

Nice camouflage for this caterpillar! Very nicely done Christine :))
