09238 Acronicta lobeliae - Lobelia Dagger Moth 1b (3rd instar cat RB)

We found this little fella earlier in the year, May 26th off the Wagon Wheel Trail at Rock Bridge Memorial State Park, Columbia, Missouri. It's not very big, as you can see next to the penny, maybe 1/4 to 3/8" at most. We could not identify it after looking at every page of Wagner's Caterpillars book. So we posted it up on BugGuide, where it was eventually expertly ID'ed as likely a 3rd instar caterpillar of this moth. Instars are a number of molts caterpillars go through before making a cocoon or chrysalis, then emerging as an adult butterfly or moth. BugGuide post: bugguide.net/node/view/522090
