Field Notes

Description:

Not sure if I placed in the proper category. It's a White Catapillar. I've never seen one before and worry if they will do damage to trees and wood sheds.

Looks like the caterpillar of the Hickory tussock moth (Lophocampa caryae) and the category Arthropoda is correct. You can check:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lophocampa_caryae
