A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Spotted in a grassy meadow section of a suburban backyard. The grasses and whatnot stand about 3 feet high.
This guy was traveling around about a foot off of the ground

Thank you, BugEric :)
I don't think this particular one is a Fall Webworm ... the coloring was a reddish brown rather than a yellow, and it did not have the double row of dots on the back. it's impossible to tell this from the picture here, but it was also a bit larger than the webworms I have seen, though my experience with them is limited rather so I may have simply seen small ones.
It was near a tall walnut tree that has a tent caterpillar nest, though, now that you mention it.
