Halysidota harrisii
Another confusingly named Tiger Moth, the Sycamore Tussock Moth caterpillars feed on Sycamore. They can be identified from their cousins in this genus by their pale coloration with yellowish-orange and white lashes. They also have bright orange or red heads. This caterpillar was found climbing on a milkweed plant (Milkweed Tussock Moth caterpillar can be seen in the background of the first image) directly underneath a sycamore tree.
Garden at Fallingwater. Crawling on a milkweed plant directly under a Sycamore tree.
