Does any know of an outstanding site? I have one (actually it is two) I have
never seen before on my witch hazel.

It has a red head and "red hunchback" if those traits ring any bells. I'll
take a picture and throw myself on someone's mercy to post it - I don't get
binary groups.

It's a red humped caterpillar - I found the Princeton Guide to Caterpillars
at the library. It doesn't even become a pretty butterfly but a rather drab
moth....
Thanks everyone for your help!

The caterpillars of "Hairstreak butterflies" come in various colors, but
are described as slug shaped (hunch backed?)

this is not the color of yours, but possibly the same shape?

I've found it - a red humped caterpillar.....

Hi Cheryl,

That is a relatively new book and is on my wish list It
isn't all that expensive either. Just shy of $20 via Amazon.

The small Peterson book has been around for awhile now and
used to be about the only decent reference available for
caterpillars. It was recommended to me by a respected
Naturalist (at least respected by me .
