It should either go on the Lepidoptera page
which has become the default caterpillar page, or you can move it all the way to Noctuidae

We believe it is a Noctuid, likely
in the genus Lithophane or something close. Right now we're waiting for Wagner's new book on the Noctuid caterpillars to come out to see how many of these we can then identify.
