Monday Morning Mystery Answered

On Monday I asked:

Can you identify this caterpillar, photographed at Shelter Island's Mashomack Preserve?

Denise Farrell replied:

Closest match I could find in bugguide.net is caterpillar for Silver-spotted Skipper.

A side-view pic of the cat along with this one would give more detail for ID'ing.

(Thanks, Denise. Had never seen the caterpillar for my favorite skipper, below.)
