Furcula moth caterpillar

Burnt Lands Provincial Park

This is an early instar of one of the Furcula moth caterpillars, possibly Grey Furcula. The head is on the left!

Nature can be so surprising. Wonderful capture and well spotted.

Pretty unusual looking caterpillar. I would never have guessed the head was on the left! Super capture of it, Christine. V.

Fantastic close up and interesting information! I was confused about what end was what until I read your description. Who knew antennas could be on the back end?! V

So interesting, I would have thought the head was on the right with what looks like antennas. V
