Eastern panthea moth caterpillar (Panthea furcilla), #9182

Mer Bleue area

Found this colourful and pretty caterpillar on a small white pine tree. Apparently it feeds only on pines and other conifers. It fell to the ground and curled up in a ball to avoid detection. Many caterpilals will drop if they sense danger and then crawl away through leaf litter.
