Speyer's cucullia caterpillar
by: Moni

Jean
The white and black caterpillar is Speyer's cucullia. It is not that common to see.
The larva feed on fleabane, horseweed, and other asters. They are usually seen from August thru October with 2-3 broods in MO so perhaps in KY you will also have a couple of generations(broods).
The adult moth is rather plain brown uninteresting moth compared to the beautiful caterpillar.
They are found in northeastern North America.
