Another caterpillar...
I popped out late this afternoon to do some leaf mining at the Ashpits Pond LNR area, just east of Burry Port and found this caterpillar on downy birch. Is it an oak eggar perhaps?
Yes, an early instar Oak Eggar. The full-grown version looks totally different of course!
ReplyDeleteThanks George. I was n`t sure about this one - hence my `perhaps`!
