I have notest that inchworms have 2 sets of legs in the back and 3 in the front. Wile caterpillars have 5 sets of legs in the back and 3 in the front.

Moth Caterpillars also called inchworms, because of their moving pattern..

Are you sure that it is a caterpillar. It looks more like an inchworm to me.
