Azalea Caterpillar
Dear Duck,
This distinctive caterpillar is an Azalea Caterpillar, Datana major, and according to BugGuide: ” As the larva matures it becomes highly colored. Mature larvae are predominately black with a red last segment and eight broken yellow (occasionally white) lengthwise stripes. The head and legs are bright red.”
