Feeding on white birch. I found three of these little caterpillars today along a trail, all on white birch. The head is on the left!

I don't want to start an argument, but to me it looks like an 8-legged puppy. V

At first glance, it looks like a seashore with elephant man syndrome. What an odd looking creature. Super shot of it.

this one looks on the perky side, and at a glance also reminds of a seahorse..
