Salt Marsh Moth

A very beautiful, and a very cute caterpillar....

Ok, that makes more sense! We do live near farm land and open wooded areas. Sorry, on my phone so the links don't work right now. :)
I really appreciate your knowledge and suggestions Forest Dragon!!

According to Bugguide they can be found in several habitats. "open wooded areas, meadows, farm fields, weedy waste places, prairie grasslands, and marshes - including salt marshes; adults are nocturnal and come to light"

I know this is probably a silly question 😳, but what if I don't live near a salt marsh, marshlands, or salt water? I couldn't find much on my search for habitat for this one

I believe this is a Salt Marsh Moth caterpillar. The Virginian Tiger Moth caterpillars have light heads. Yours looks like it is dark with light markings that look similar to Estigmene acrea: https://bugguide.net/node/view/833845/bg...
