Could it be Spilosoma virginica?

[pilonm]

Hello all,

Here are 4 pictures of a caterpillar photographed September 26th, 2010 in Quebec, Canada (near Vermont).

I'm hesitating with its identification. Could it be Spilosoma virginica?

Any idea? Comments?

Thank you for your so appreciated help

It could be.
It is probably a spilusoma.
Do you have a picture of the whole body from the side and above.
