    This looks so much like our Malacosoma disstria! I would guess something from the Lasiocampidae family! Posted 4 years ago

        The similarity is incredible:
        Forest Tent Caterpillar - Malacosoma disstria Resembling a magic carpet, this beautiful blue caterpillar has white "footprints" on its dorsal surface. An orange subdorsal stripe separates the blue and black dorsum from the mostly blue sides. Additional middorsal and addorsal orange stripes (broken) run the length of the body. It was around 4 cm long.<br /> <br /> Spotted on vegetation in a mostly deciduous forest.<br /> <br /> This is a gregarious species that often congregates in large masses, but it does not spin a tent.
