This Bud's For You!
I caught this caterpillar last week while in the Hocking Hills area of Ohio. I like the budding branch and the pose of the caterpillar feeding on the new leaf. Any help with a critter ID and any/all Comments are appreciated as always.

I think it is the caterpillar of Haploa clymene. Coloring resembles one of its instars and the time of the year is right.
