Saw lots of these caterpillars. Noticed some were black for ally and others weren’t. Don’t know if they are the same species.

On Indian paint brush. Can’t find a matching picture of this caterpillar for any of the nearby recommended IDs. About 1.25 inches long. Reminds me of the gypsy moths on the east coast.

GEOPRIVACY NOTE:
All my observations are posted with “obscured” geoprivacy. This means the exact location for each observation is masked somewhat within the red box that shows up on the standard browser viewer. I’m happy to provide more habitat description if requested — as the map may not be too precise in the public view.
A REQUEST:
When recommending an identification, please adhere to current standards of taxonomy as deployed by iNaturalist at this time — as opposed to identifying and classifying organisms based on personal beliefs about what taxonomy can, should, or of right ought to be in opposition to iNaturalist’s current taxonomy. Comments noting such taxonomic disagreements, however, are welcomed and encouraged. I prefer my observations to be inline with current taxonomic standards as deployed by iNaturalist (as opposed to my personal beliefs) so that this and other observations are readily accessible to iNaturalist users with greater efficiency and usability. This has been an issue in the past with some folks in the herpetological circles. Thanks!
If you have any questions regarding this observation, feel free to contact me or leave a comment below!
