Re: Unidentified caterpillar
I've done quite a bit of Googling since posting this pic and wondered about Colotois pennaria (the Feathered Thorn) as a possible id?

There are several web pics including this one on Wikipedia: Image:Colotois pennaria caterpillar

General appearance is about right and also the caterpillar in my pic does possess the two conical shaped lumps on the eleventh segment.
