I think I've ID'd it
by: MaryLee

I've consulted an entomologist friend of mine, Dr. Brian Eisenback at Wm. Jennings Bryan College, and he thinks this fuzzy pale green caterpillar is a Definite Tussock moth (Orgyia definita). They like to eat maple, oak, elm, ash, willow, box elder, apple and cherry leaves. This caterpillar possibly fell from the maple tree near the English Ivy. I released it, but now I realize I should have kept it in a jar to see if it would make a cocoon.
