Lymantria dispar
Very small, immature caterpillar about 2.3 cm in length. I believe this is the same guy I found and thought I lost 3 days ago, when he was about 10 mm in length! He has grown! He is now about 2.5 inches long and about to pupate.

You are right, Hayden! Thanks for reminding me! He is now about 2.5 inches large!
I think it might be a young gypsy moth caterpilkar, but I'm not sure.
No prob!
Thanks!
Hayden, you may want to invite seto2112 to add his caterpillars to your mission. He has quite a collection! You can find his caterpillars in my mission, Moths of the Americas!
Done, and done, Hayden!
Please add to mission.
