They aren’t rare, no. I see them pretty often. They are one of a few thousand kinds of inchworms. The caterpillars are the interesting-looking ones, the moths are kind of a nondescript brown.

I found a catipillar like this on my shirt when we were in the woods. Is it rare? What should I do with it? What does it eat? Should I let it go? Please answer my questions!!
Thanks,
Ramsey Piotter
PS Is it a catipillar or an inchworm or what??

As it turns out, I might have some pictures of the adult form too, although its wings are so faded that it is hard to be sure.

Thanks. I took them on the kitchen table, on a sheet of paper in natural light, with a Canon Powershot A95 camera in “macro” mode.
