At DiOhio
I am raising one that the moment and I found it on a Japanese Cherry Tree and thats all I feed it and apparently it loves it because it keeps eating more and more of it.

No positives? C'mon, this caterpillar is majorly cute. The one I found looked like the insect equivalent of an angora cat. There were not hoards of them, just this one, and no discernable damage to plants.

THe caterpillars can do alot of damage to their host plants if present in great numbers. I have never seen enough of these in my area to cause concern.
The caterpillars and moths are present in the eastern and central US from early summer through fall and produce 2 generations a year.
