Found this colourful and pretty caterpillar on a small white pine tree. Apparently it feeds only on pines and other conifers.

Beautiful detail and color. This guy looks like he might be one of the stinging kind. Vote.

I see lots of the adult moths, but haven't seen the caterpillar. Nice find and shot!

His body looks like a row of little faces - isn't nature grand.
