While hiking the Rock Castle Gorge Loop I saw this incredibly photogenic Definite Tussock Moth caterpillar, who introduced themselves by crawling all over my neck. Rude! I can’t stay mad at a face like that however, so all good.

Caterpillars in full force that day, with a Hickory Tussock moth and an Isabella Tiger Moth in the lower gorge and upper grasslands of the trail, respectively.
A larval Hickory Tussock Moth I saw early on the trail in the gorge area.
Isabella Tiger moth crawling across the grassy trail in the upper area.
I also saw a cool looking thingie a few days ago (Nothern Germany)
No idea what it is.
That’s pretty cool looking! Yeah, I couldn’t even take a guess for European caterpillars.
I couldnt even tell you where the eyes on this thing are
