This was one of a number feeding on a ceanosis in a neighbour's garden. The adult male of the species is easily recognisable by their rich reddish brown forewings. The females are virtually wingless and are unable to fly and remain close to the papal cocoon. They are found throughout Europe, temperate Asia, Siberia and the USA. As with most hairy caterpillars, the bristles are connected to venomous glands and function as a defensive barrier to would-be predators and cause irritation to the skin. They feed on the foliage of various trees and shrubs.
The Spanish moth, Xanthopastis timais (Cramer), is unmistakable for any other moth in Florida. The larvae are likewise very colorful, and have been called convict caterpillars. The larvae are occasional pests of lilies, mainly in Amaryllidaceae.
This meadow fritillary blended in well with the stiff coreopsis flower it was feeding on as they are both brightly colored. I found a few meadow fritillaries laying eggs on violet leaves here on Ludwig Prairie today since their caterpillars will only eat those violet leaves.
I spotted this Viceroy caterpillar in a tree yesterday while 3 of us were out hunting clubtails again. Hadn't seen a Viceroy cat in awhile. Not sure of the tree - they use several as their host plants. The adult Viceroys spend most of their time in the open wetlands.
>> Viceroy caterpillar, yesterday at the wetlands - N. Georgia
See recent shot of a Viceroy - similar to a Monarch in appearance.
I think it's possibly a Brown Tail Caterpillar but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Standhisround and Jeff have probably correctly identified him as a Knot Grass Caterpillar
Another Sunday, another featherless day. This caterpillar of the Monarch butterfly is feeding on the flower buds of the Milkweed.

I finally found one! Of course he was out in the open, in plain sight so it would have been hard Not to see him. He was traveling along a rusty hand rail at the speed of light and I had to keep backing up to get the shot. :) I don't know what kind he is, but he was very hairy..... probably hasn't been able to see his hair dresser because of the covid thing. I don't know. ;) I was at an aqueduct just north of Paw Paw West Virginia.
The only creature (that we can catch), so far, that I have had to say no to Evan holding due to the potential rash or irritation it can cause.
I see Swallow Tails in the area, but never in the garden feeding. But I bought the plants anyway, in the hopes they would use them.I thought at least maybe the rabbit will much on it. The yesterday I found 9 caterpillars!
Hairy caterpillars.
The whole family stays together when first hatched, but there are too many to get a decent photo.
I brought this family home a few days ago, and waited until they split up onto different leaves to get a better picture.

Raupenschlepper hat es schon immer gegeben und immer waren es die großen Guts Höfe die einen hatten. Durchgesetzt haben sie sich nie. Zu schwer zu teuer . Vielleicht muss sich ein jeder ein Statemet setzen mal so ein Ding gehabt zu haben.
