Hi, I favour Phragmatobia fuliginosa but most of the photos of these seem darker? Photographed 09/8/2010, not assocciated with any particular food plants - just walking along! Approx 50mm long?

Thanks
Nick

I saw a caterpillar with somewhat similar colouration in Bosnia that emerged afterwards as Hyphantria cunea!

Info gathered from other sites indicate that this is probably a caterpillar from Spilosoma luteum (buff ermine) moth.
