Thanks for your appreciation Craig. And Jeannette too.
Wow, hairy fellow :)
Hello Wendy & welcome to Noah. You have some great spottings already and I really love this one in particular.
Agree Martin... Its Tussock moth.. possibly Orgyia sp.
This is amazing!
Four segments of dorsal bristles is typical of a tussock moth larva. This one is spectacular but the moths often have rather dull wings or sometimes none at all.
Awesome spot!
