Answer 1

That is definitely NOT a wooly bear catepillar. Wooly bear catepillars are black and orange, with two bands of black and one band of orange. Even at this time of year they are black and orange. I know, because I saw one yesterday when I was cutting the grass in my yard.

This looks very much like a Spotted Apatelodes Moth caterpillar.

Answer 2

Site below says it may be a some kind of Moth Caterpillar

Pictures look very similar in links below.
one site posted this question to a gardening expert:


What is the white, fuzzy caterpillar that is falling out of my butternut tree? It looks like it’s put together with square beads that have black dashes and dots on them.
That’s a very good description of the hickory tussock moth larva (Lophocampa caryae). These leaf chewers are very active from July through September in many trees and shrubs, including nut trees, apple trees, sycamore, and plane trees. At first the caterpillars appear sort of beige in color but they become whiter as they develop. Also, they feed in groups at first but then each becomes more independent before they drop to the base of the tree or plant to pupate in a cocoon over the winter. http://www.urimga.org/insects.html

Answer 3

The plant appears like Virginia Creeper (parthenocissus quinquifolia) yet this plant is in all probability host to various distinctive butterflies and moths. you may prefer to rigorously hunt the caterpillar. in case you are able to no longer see it in the process the day then perhaps it extremely is a night feeder. undergo in suggestions that caterpillars are in many situations extremely no longer difficulty-free to locate on flora.

Answer 4

That's the wooly bear caterpillar. It will turn into a tiger moth.

Answer 5
