Mottled Umber Caterpillar
Erannis defoliaria (caterpillar)
This inchworm lives on deciduous trees and shrubs in woodland, hedgerows, and gardens. It feeds chiefly on the leaves of oak, birch, hawthorn, and other broad-leaved plants. When disturbed, it can hold its body stiff and straight to resemble a small twig.
