The geometer moths or Geometridae have caterpillars that are called inch worms because of their locomotion pattern. They lack the prolegs of other Lepidoptera, so they use their front and back grappbing and pulling up to inch along. These caterpillars are often called loopers.
this is probably an Inchworm
