Thanks so much, Ann! That's very helpful! It seems as though the larvae takes on the appearance of whatever surface it is on! I'll bet that's what it is.

Well, I went ahead and cut off the stem where the caterpillar was, and disposed of it. Now I'll need to keep an eye on that plant and my other salvia for other signs of this pest.
