Pretty classic caterpillar damage to the Virginia creeper vines that grow up the outside of my parents' house. I'll have get out there tonight, or some night soon, and snoop around with the black light. Something good is living there, but I'm not spotting it in the daylight. I expect it's Pandorus or Abbott's sphinx larvae, but it could be some kind of Eulithis or the eight spotted forester, too.

I for one am rooting for Eight Spotted Foresters!
They're really cool

Way to go! I'll have to grow more Virginia Creeper, Japanese beetles or not

@Insectra
If you like cool caterpillars, you would absolutely freak for the Ruddy Daggerwing.
The larvae look like little dragons, and the chrysalis looks like a big green mosquito. The adult is orange inside, and looks just like a dead leaf when it folds it's wings.
If you ever get to South Fla, you might want to examine Strangler Fig leaves, the host plant for these fascinating caterpillars

Posted by InsectraSpring amphibian migration in Pennsylvania is well under way! Most of these are Jefferson's salamanders, one of our earliest moving amphibians and a species of special concern in Pennsylvania.
