A definite tussock moth caterpillar at Mammoth Cave. It is facing down. It appears to be on a rock or a wall. It is mostly a light yellow, with four darker yellow tufts on its back and a black line running down the center of its body. Fuzzy yellow hairs sick out from both sides of the moth. A pair of long brown hairs stick out from its yellow head. Similarly, a number of long brown hairs stretch out at the rear end, forming what looks like a tail.
