This caterpillar is also known as Parsley Worm. And that tells you where I found it.

A few days ago I was in the woods and my trail disappeared. I had to wade through tangles of shrubs and branches on a hot summer day. But all my impatience disappeared when I chanced upon large patches of wild raspberry canes, more and more of them, and I was able to keep tasting raspberries constantly as I struggled through the undergrowth until I came to the more sparse vegetation and could walk comfortably again.
