Fuzzy Eater, Pt. 3 - _TNY_1053

I have no idea if the caterpillar of the knot grass moth (Acronicta rumicis) is a fussy eater - but it sure is a fuzzy eater. This one was happily muching away at a pink (and also fuzzy) house leek (Sempervivum tectorum).

 

Another thing I do not know is if there is a purpose about that chevron on the face, but I think it looks very cool.
