Orgyia leucostigma
A fuzzy caterpillar with tufts of yellowish-green, darker stripes, scattered long dark hairs, and a few red spots. He had "horns" at the front and the back. Thanks for the ID!
Awesome first spotting! Yes, a tussock moth caterpillar. :-) Welcome to Project Noah!
Very nice first spotting on Noah - welcome to the Project! When you have insects that you are having trouble identifying, you can submit the photo to BugGuide.net and very often they can help out.
