What is eating my apple tree?

[James P. Bipps]

I found this in my apple tree today...slightly smaller than my thumb. I only found one of them. Any ideas?

 

[Tamarack]

Cercropia moth maybe

That there's what's called an Icky Worm.

They like to eat my elderberries. Colorful and destructive little bastards.

Thanks all...looks like it has a case of The Covid to boot.

Looks pretty cool! A few wouldn't bother me at all, hundreds on my apple trees maybe...…..

That's a beautiful moth. I hope it's dead.
