Hickory Tussock Moth Caterpillar

This caterpillar stopped wiggling long enough for me to capture this shot the other day.

This Hickory Tussock Moth Caterpillar (white caterpillar) will eventually metamorphose into a Lophocampa caryae...or the hickory tiger moth. 

If curious, check out PennState Extension or you can learn a bit more info from Wikipedia. 

These caterpillars are very apparent in the fall. If you have sensitive skin, beware...the hairs may irritate the skin.
