found 2 of these today and fed them to the birds , but would love to know what kind of butterfly or moth they would be for future reference.

A pint can't hold a quart , If it is holding a pint it is doing the best that it can.
and it is written ,
if the evil spirit arms the tiger with claws , brahman provided wings for the dove.

Yellow Striped Armyworm or Cotton Cutworm maybe ? to answer my own question

That kind of cut worm has done so much damage here, a couple of years ago

I'm thinking we should have a caterpillar ID thread

I found this on my philodendron Xanadu today. Anyone know what it is? The picture is a little out of focus, but I hope there's enough detail. Black tail, black antenna, grey body, orange horizontal stripes on the body, kinda hairy.
