I found it on the edge of a meadow which had been recently cleared. The caterpillar was just crawling on a dead stick.

Hi Linda! What a lovely caterpillar! This is most likely the subspecies Asterocampa celtis celtis. Could you tell us more about the habitat you found this caterpillar on, as well as the plant it was found on? Thank you!
