Orange brown furry caterpillar about 4cm long, spotted at Cole Harbour Heritage Park September 20, 2010. The area has salt marshes so the name seems correct, hard to tell the difference with a Yellow Bear (Spilosoma virginica) Virginian Tiger caterpillar.
Thanks, my eyes might be deceiving me, but I have seen these marching over the highways of Nova Scotia these past weeks!
