Field Notes

Description:

Green with darker spots.

Habitat:

Suburban garden.

Notes:

I'm not sure what type of caterpillar this is. It was found eating marigold flowers which caused its droppings to be the same orange color as the flowers. It's droppings can be seen on the leaves below. Any help would be appreciated!
