Crowned slug moth caterpillar (Isa textula), #4681

Reveler Conservation Area

Found four more of these today at the Reveler site. Three on basswood (Tilia), one on red oak (Quercus). I think they are jewel-like and beautiful. Also very tiny!

Great close with amazing detail. So well camouflaged, the head even looks like the edge of the leaf. "V"
