Crowned slug moth caterpillar (Isa textula)

Reveler Conservation Area

On Red oak. The slug moth larvae are the most unlikely caterpillars of all! This one looks like it might be anything but a moth caterpillar. To me, this one looks as if made of spun glass.

that's a fun and lively looking creature...it seems a bit of a tickler too, with such spindly outer reaches..
