Field Notes

Description:

3/4" long slender green caterpillar - possible one of the looper moths. Well camouflaged among the leaves.

Habitat:

Meadow.

Notes:

It dropped to the ground when I tried for a better shot so this is the only photo I managed to get.

Looks like the caterpillar of a species of sulphur, but I'm not sure which one.
