There was a large, thin web and lots of scattered eggs with this larva. I'd like an ID, please.

Dogbane leaves?
or maybe Saucrobotys futilalis

Yes,
Definitely dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum).

Yes,
that may be dogbane leaves. I know that it was not a tree sapling, it was an herbaceous plant and there is dogbane close by. I can check it again.
Also, there was a small bug just below one of the larva. I think it may be a predatory stink bug. Should I link that photo with these or post is separately? Thanks for your help, Bob.
