Certainly it, Chris. I was not aware those green bumps open into the
tufts. I presume this is an immature (or whatever it's termed in the
caterpillar world). The two little red marks between the greenish white
striping is also distinctive. <br>
Thanks, <br>

I think this is a White-marked Tussock Moth (<i>Orgyia l. leucostigma</i>
(Smith)). Take a look at:<br><br>
