How cute! Definitely a kind of Tussock caterpillar, but I wouldn't trust my own species ID with a ten foot pole so that's as far as I'll go, ha. :]
Haha, I know! I'd noticed brown gall growths on the junipers last winter but this is some sci-fi-lookin' nonsense
Scott Frazier - Oh dear, was that comment really made two months ago? So sorry for how long it's taken me to get back to you. I really appreciate the professional insight, and I'll update this spotting to reflect it. :)
Thanks to both of you! Didn't realize I hadn't marked this guy as identified. :)
I'm starting to wonder if the awful growing conditions take a harsh toll on the plants in my yard in particular- teeny tiny berries and they seem to ripen at totally random times. I've never seen a vendor -selling- this particular type of gooseberry, though! Very cool! :]
