I have "Reported" this pic as having the wrong ID and am hoping they will change it soon. It is in fact a Mullein Moth caterpillar.

Not yours Kayleigh, but mine! I didn't know the name of this caterpillar so searched "caterpillar" in WAB and the second or third caterpillar was the same as ours and it was (incorrectly) named Oak Eggar lol...I posted my pic then discovered to my horror that it was in fact a Mullein moth caterpillar. I have reported my pic as having wrong ID and hopefully it will be corrected soon.
