Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The caterpillar ate dandelion leaves, and was black with a small brown band. I thought it was a woolly bear, but it emerged as a black and white moth with a white band down its wings and orange stripes on the ends. My mother and I have scoured the Internet for what kind of moth this might be, but haven’t found anything that might help us.
