Unknown Caterpillar - Noctuidae? Notodontidae? I found this caterpillar in a semi-enclosed silk nest. I don&#039;t know they ID yet, but suspect that it&#039;s a Noctuid or else maybe a prominent (Notodontidae). The colors seem a bit mottled, so I was thinking that maybe it was getting ready to pupate? <br /> <br /> Habitat: On a plant (eek, I forgot to take note of the host!) in a mixed forest/wetland Geotagged,Spring,United States,caterpillar Click/tap to enlarge
