I hope I find this caterpillar someday and I see it is from PA.

LaLiseuse, this is a beautiful spotting! Since you know the species of this caterpillar, please add the Scientific Name so this can be a complete spotting.

I have seen the adult butterfly many times in my area of PA, but never the caterpillar. On my wish list.
