Smartweed caterpillar
by: Moni

Elizabeth
Your caterpillar is the smartweed caterpillar, while the moth is called the Smeared Dagger moth.
The caterpillar colors can vary somewhat. These caterpillars feed on a wide variety of plants, shrubs, and trees. Therefore they are found in meadows, woodlands and nearby areas.
There would be one generation in northern IN.

The spines on this caterpillar may "sting" leaving some skin irritation if mishandled...be careful.

Purdue is my alma mater!! Go, Boilers!
