Great Southern White Caterpillars

Ascia monuste monuste

Description:

Gray and yellow stripped caterpillars with black spots that have little hairs coming out of them.

Habitat:

Radish plants in a vegetable garden.

Notes:

I collected one of the pupae from these to see what it turned into. You can check out the other spottings with the pupa and adult here, http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/824... and http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/818...
