Spilosoma virginica
Medium sized, pale orange, "furry" caterpillar. Some hairs noticably longer. Darker speckling can be seen through the hairs.
Bayard Cutting Arboretum. Semi-wooded area near a brackish water source. Found on the underside of a leaf on a Common Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis).
One of three of this species of caterpillar I found on these plants: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/186... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/184...
