I looked around on the internet and the closest Caterpillar resembling the one I took a picture of is called a Halysidota harrisii. Is this what my caterpillar is?

Thank You
Thanks Bob, I never found a picture of one as small as the one I seen so they looked kinda different. I'm proud of my picture because it turned out pretty good, so I got curious as to what this catepillar was called. Thanks again for comfirming!!
