Hypercompe scribonia
Very woolly, black, spiny haired caterpillar. He was eating the grass in front of our house in Pensacola, Florida. Not knowing if it was a butterfly to be, I moved it to a safe spot under the bushes where it could continue to eat and not get tromped on by feet.
Thank you! That is one beautiful moth! We did see some in Pensacola before we left.
