That's a lot! not familiar. Sandy, can you you place one on a plain white background and snap another picture?

It's moving like a typical inchworm... this maybe?

I can't tell. I thought I could see dark Chevron marks on a couple of them, especially the one on the right in the second picture but couldn't find a match online. Knowing how they move helps.

Does the moth look familiar? Plus a couple pix of the cat

If they're still there tomorrow (where else would they go? LOL) I'll do that, Zoe.

I think it must be some sort of "looper" ? but they are really tiny (at least for now), maybe 1/4 inch or so, and have those "V" markings on them.

Cross-posted... I can't say whether that moth looks familiar or not, but these definitely don't have that dark stripe down their backs, just the "V's". And there also might be two different kinds - some that are greenish, some that are tan.

That was one Nancy linked to. I agree, definitely chevrons in your pic. Looking forward to clearer photos tomorrow!

Well, rainy, gloomy, and 64° here today and the little "worms" are nowhere to be seen (who can blame them?). Supposed to be nice weather tomorrow so hopefully I can catch them for a new photo then!
