And if someone cares to id the guy in the background too - so fuzzy!
Thank you, so much! I've seen similar caterpillars here, and we're smack dab in the middle of a fir forest
There are quite a few Pero moths to choose from, but Morrison's is the most likely suspect, especially given your geographic location; these are definitely found in Oregon.
