Petee Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Found this hanging from a False Indigo plant. It bites or stings. How about this for a starter? Probably not it but what other identifying marks does it have? http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2008/09/21/silver-spotted-skipper-caterpillar-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I don't know what your caterpillar is but the one that is found on false indigo is Genista broom moth. It eats the leaves. Don't know if it stings. http://extension.psu.edu/plants/green-industry/news/2012/pest-alert-genista-broom-moth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
