Does any know of an outstanding site? I have one (actually it is two) I have never seen before on my witch hazel.
It has a red head and "red hunchback" if those traits ring any bells. I'll take a picture and throw myself on someone's mercy to post it - I don't get binary groups.

The caterpillars of "Hairstreak butterflies" come in various colors, but are described as slug shaped (hunch backed?)

Hi Cheryl,
That is a relatively new book and is on my wish list :) It isn't all that expensive either. Just shy of $20 via Amazon.
The small Peterson book has been around for awhile now and used to be about the only decent reference available for caterpillars. It was recommended to me by a respected Naturalist (at least respected by me :).
And there are too few respectable people around these days ;)
I've wish listed as well....
