This Large Yellow Underwing moth caterpillar, found frozen atop the snow this A.M., quickly thawed and revived when I brought it into the house.
I find these caterpillars after heavy rains have saturated the snow and I would guess that they surface to escape drowning.
This species was accidentally introduced in the Canadian Maritime Provinces around 1979 … and now ca be found as far south as Texas!
