Estigmene acrea
Salt Marsh Caterpillar, is highly variable in color and ranges from pale yellow to dark brownish-black. It has numerous soft setae which are longer towards the end of the body. The thoracic and abdominal segments have a few rows of either orange or black warts.
The sandy beach at the edge of Lake Lewisville. It is cold and windy and I am finding several of these caterpillars tucked under new vegetation.
