Recognize this critter??

Came across a snapshot I took of this strange looking little guy we came across outside our house last August. No idea what it is. (??)

Its bait, of the fresh water species.

Wow-- I think that's it! If not the exact species, a closely related one. All of the pariculars would seem to match.

We were leaving the house when we spotted it and only got this pretty crappy picture. How did you come up with the ID??

I did a search for "caterpillars". I'm kind of curious about critters and when I see something that I have never seen before I try look it up. I sure have never seen one of these.
