My granddaughter found this caterpillar & wants me to help her id it. She found this one on a rose plant, but says she's also seen them on palm and other trees. She lives in Savannah, GA. Thanks for your help!

Is there a possibilty that it may be a:

Rose Inch Worm?? It was on a rose bush? The clue would be to see if the edges of some leaves are eaten away!
keep us posted! Very observant Daughter.

Classic Eastern tent color and long seta, inch worms are pretty naked.
