This is NOT an oak tussock moth caterpillar. CORRECTION: John Wheatley just E-mailed me to let me know I misnamed it here! Strange thing is that I looked it up back in September and found the same thing he did -- this is a MILKWEED tussock most larva,
Euchaetes egle. THANKS JOHN. (Just forgot when I posted it weeks later because I found this in an area with lots of oak but not much milkweed

)
With all those brushes, it’s often hard to tell the head from the tail, so I was happy to get this profile that shows its legs and shiny black head.
