I think these yellow flowers, currently abundant in Central Kentucky fields, are wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia).

Salt marsh moth

Veronica writes, "This appears to be a Salt Marsh Moth. They prefer to be in open fields eating weeds. Be careful in handling these moths/caterpillars as those with sensitive skin may be prone to have rash and dermatitis from the hairs on this guy. Their caterpillar form is a wooly type guys...

I find the white and black stripes on the legs very interesting. The strupes reminds me of Zebras and the spots remind me of Dalmatians."
