Hi kmgrover33, if you agree with the ID suggestion, please update your spotting accordingly. :-) This deserves to be named!

Welcome to Project Noah! Wonderful first spotting! A lot of caterpillars are getting ready for fall/winter now. They are going to where they will hibernate either as larvae or pupae.
