Side view of a moth in between two deck boards. It is approximately 1.5 inches long, facing upward with its wings tucked tightly behind it. Its head is white and looks like a fuzzy pom-pom. It has small antennae that are somewhat striped looking, black and white. There are 2 or 3 visible tiny black spots on its outer wing. The gap between the two planks is only ¼ inch.

It may look like a nozzle brush with funky colored bristles, but this is the dapper Milkweed Tussock Moth Caterpillar!

Closeup of a caterpillar resting on a shiny rock. The caterpillar appears to be all bristles - tufts of black and white on its sides and orange and black on its top. No body parts are visible except all these bristles.
