I found another photo of him/her at Butterflies and Moths of North America. Apparently s/he is a Banded Tussock Moth or Pale Tiger Moth.

A Yellow Caterpillar Brightens the Day
As I was processing pints and pints and pints of chicken on the patio on Friday I noticed this little guy/gal crawling along the cement.
I haven't seen a cute, fuzzy caterpillar is such a long time! This one brought a little more sunshine this afternoon!

I found this image while trying to identify a caterpillar I found at my house similar to this one. I believe it is actually an American Dagger Moth caterpillar. Hope you're having a great weekend :)
