| Where did we stay last year? |
The bright yellow color of this Spotted Tussock moth caterpillar made it easy to spot as it headed up the fourth step of the porch, looking to find itself an overwintering spot.
The Lophocampa maculata, the Yellow Spotted Tussock moth, is really a Tiger moth. Those hair tufts on the caterpillar cause it to be called a "tussock moth caterpillar". This caterpillar has five spots; the fifth one is next to the banding at its rear.
