CATERPILLAR

This is the caterpillar of the White-faced Tussock Moth (Orgyia leucostigma). He greeted me on the garage door when I returned from my bicycle ride. Very common around here...although one rarely sees the adult. 

EXTRA: I have no photos of the adult....but the ever present Internet is a fountain of information. I "borrowed" this image from the discoverylife.org page. No photo credit was given.
