Virginian tiger moth caterpillar (Spilosoma virginica), #8137

Trans Canada Trail, Ottawa

There were three of these virginian tiger moth caterpillars on bracken fern, but this was the only really munching away. These caterpillars can be variable in colour and true to form, each one was different from the others. To see what they look like as an adult: http://www.pbase.com/laroseforest/image/143703177
