Amphipyra pyramidoides
Mainly green color, thin yellow strip on both side, with black dots breaking up the yellow line. Thin white strip down the back.
SW PA, found it on a Wild Cherry leaf. Put it in a jar overnight and it ate all the leaves that we're in there with it.
NRumbaugh, because this is the Copper Underwing Moth, could you please add this to the mission, Moths of The Americas? Thanks do much! These caterpillars are real beauties.
You see the large protrusion in the abdomen? It's supposed to make the abdomen look like the head, helping the caterpillar sustain minimal damage when attacked.
