Tussock moth larvae (and those of many other species) can exhibit quite a bit of variability between instars. Geographical location can also account for quite a range of variability between separate populations of a species. However, John's geographical observation leads me to believe my ID is spurious. It is some species of tussock moth - that I am certain. Vapourer, anyone? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgyia_antiqua |
