Here is another one lepidopteran larva. I suppose it is of Arctiidae family. Am I right? What genus it belongs to? It has been found on the stickseed plant (Lappula sp., Boraginaceae) and it was rather usual species in the place where I conducted my field research.
Thanks advance.

Hi Sergey,

I think you are right in considering this to be an arctiid. Unfortunately I cannot help you to a species or even genus name.

I think this caterpillar belongs to sf Arctiinae. My guess would be close to Spilarctia. The caterpillars, like the adults are quite variable in this and close genera.
