Caterpillar– I think: Spilosoma virginica
Spilosoma virginica Virginian Tiger Moth
Isn't it sweet? Little tiny feet, all moving in a wave.
Soft, fuzzy little caterpillar. Little legs grabbing onto the clover, munching away. I've submitted it to My BAMONA for ID.
The moths are beginning to gather in the night. It also looks like a very good year for the butterflies. My milkweed is flourishing and I hope the Monarch butterfly population will explode with the excellent conditions: lots of moisture, lots of food and I don't use chemicals on the lawn. The White admirals, Eastern swallowtail, are plentiful.

So cute, great pictures!
Furry and cute little thing!
I haven't handled one of those little critters in years.
Cute, fuzzy fellow. I think that's the kind that was eating my lantana leaves.
Wonderful shots of the furry critter for SC ~ thanks,
