It's a red humped caterpillar - I found the Princeton Guide to Caterpillars
at the library. It doesn't even become a pretty butterfly but a rather drab
moth....
Thanks everyone for your help!

Hi Cheryl,

That is a relatively new book and is on my wish list It
isn't all that expensive either. Just shy of $20 via Amazon.

The small Peterson book has been around for awhile now and
used to be about the only decent reference available for
caterpillars. It was recommended to me by a respected
Naturalist (at least respected by me .


And there are too few respectable people around these days

I've wish listed as well....

Cheryl
