Salt Marsh Moth caterpillar (Estigmene acrea), #8131

Found near Mer Bleue bog. This species, despite its name is not found only in salt marshes, but can be found in any open areas such as trail sides, where this was found, fields, meadows, woodland edges, etc. and is fairly common around here. It is also, like so many caterpillars, variable in colour.
