Orgyia leucostigma
Tufted caterpillar (one of these was alive and very mobile at night, the other was found deceased) about 1 and 1/4 inches long. Generally yellowish/off white hairs with 4 raised hair clusters along the back. The face and tail had reddish markings and black hairs extended from the crown.
Found on our deck near oak trees.
Thank you Ornithoptera! I'm not sure why, but I haven't been getting my notifications. I've got an exciting update on the White Marked Tussock Moth Caterpillar to upload shortley!
