Pale green with 2 pairs of horn like projections with black spines, and 3 pairs of projections in the rear, with shorter projections in between.
Can have Orange, Red, or Yellow coloration in the body.
Habitat:
Found on an unknown plant in the scrubby woods between two old fields.
Notes:
Last photo is of the unknown plant this was found on. It was wrapped in the leaf of one of them, secured with silk of some sort.
I have been told by friends that this is a "stinging" type of caterpillar...would love to know if this is true, but I do not handle caterpillars usually.
