Common Eupithecia

Eupithecia miserulata

Description:

Light green and brown inch worm was eating another hole in our rose bush. When it saw me, it stood straight up. The underside is white with red stripes as seen in the fourth image. "Caterpillar very variable in color, but usually with a pattern of diagonal lines which commonly "join over dorsum to form arrows atop first six or seven abdominal segments.""

Habitat:

Rose bush in front yard.
