Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I found this caterpillar on the sunny side wall on my house in the backyard about 1.8 meters (6 feet up). I placed it on the sidewalk and took a photo and a video of it. It curled in a ball at first and then became quite active and could go at a good pace. I then put it back in the area just below where I had found it. The temperature was 27C (80F) with 66% humidity. Then on Aug. 25, I found it about 5.5 meters (6 yards) away in the Flowering Almond Tree clinging to a leaf on a small branch.
