    Hello all,

    Here is a caterpillar I found in Quebec (September 21st, 2010). It was crossing the road.

    I'm suspecting Euplexia benesimilis but I'm not sure.

    Can you please confirm/infirm my id?

    Thank you very much for your so appreciated help :)

    It certainly looks like an American Angle Shades moth caterpillar to me.
