This was a long caterpillar - about 3 inches. It looked like a yellow woolybear caterpillar to me (also called a Virginian tiger moth I think), but that didn't come up in the choices, so then I wasn't sure.

Tawny Virbia Moth (Virbia opella)Observer
osmeteriumDescription
Found wandering on my dirt driveway on 4/6/2023. It accepted dandelion leaves. Orange spiracles.
Molted: 4/13/23
Purged: 4/21/23 so I gave it some dead beech leaves for cocoon purposes, which it confusingly began to consume.
Cocoon: 4/24/23 using some of its hair
Pupated: 4/27/23
Emerged: 5/16/23
Tawny virbia, maybe? Unfortunately I could not get any hindwing photos.

This caterpillar sure was on a mission to go somewhere! I found it marching along the ground next to a mountain stream in the forest--maybe looking for a place to pupate? It was about 1.5 inches long, and the hairs didn't cause any reaction when they came into contact with my skin.
The ID algorithm has suggested Wood Tiger (Arctia plantaginis), Great Tiger Moth (Arctia caja), Isabella Tiger Moth (Pyrrharctia isabella), and Nevada Tiger Moth (Apantesis nevadensis).

Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve, Bucks Co, PA.
Female.
I saw this moth clinging to a stone wall across a bridge. I thought the black spot was part of it's wing. Only when I processed the photo did I realize to was a midge! I need to get my eyes checked...
