Caterpillar -- What kind?

I thought this was an Eastern Tent Caterpillar because of the distinct tent hanging off a tree branch. As I look more at the photos, I don't believe it is. Anyway, 1:2 (1:1 with the crop factor on Olympus) at f/11 on my 35mm Macro w/ FL-36R handheld. Both photos are cropped slightly.

Maybe it's a Tiger Moth?

    I don't know what it is, but they are great shots!

    Man, that first shot is beautiful- almost abstact.

    35mm? You must have been tickling those little hairs with the end of your lens!

    Thanks! I took a look again today and their bodies turned black. They look like Eastern Tent Caterpillars now.
