This looks like an epiphyllum of some sort.

Thanks! I spotted another one in the garden that is yellow (I posted that one as well). Do you think it is the same species? I included photos of the foliage.

I agree with MrsPbio. This reminds me of the burdock that popped up in my garden last year.

Wheel Bug nymphs commented on by Catta Pilosa Maryland, USA7 years ago

I am no expert, so please take this ID with a grain of salt. The nymphs on the reference page do look pretty similar, though.

Fir Tussock Moth commented on by Catta Pilosa Nevada, USA8 years ago

My second (educated) guess would be the white-marked tussock moth, which looks somewhat similar.
This is what Bug Guide had to say about it:

Orgyia detrita (fir tussock) caterpillar is similar in coloration to Orgyia leucostigma (white-marked tussock), but "the sides of the body are gray and supraspiracular warts are orange; the black middorsal stripe is flanked by yellow spots on A4-A7

Fir Tussock Moth commented on by Catta Pilosa Nevada, USA8 years ago

I searched online for quite a while before finding a tussock moth caterpillar that resembled yours. I believe that this is a Fir Tussock Moth (Orgyia detrita), but I am not certain. The range is a bit off for your area.

Great find!

Burdock commented on by Catta Pilosa Connecticut, USA8 years ago

I waited until it bloomed, and I believe it is burdock!
