Bordered Patch Butterfly Cats? - Chlosyne

Bordered Patch Butterfly Cats? - Chlosyne
San Antonio area, Bexar County, Texas, USA
I just added a couple of images to the Bordered Patch Butterfly page of adults and noticed there are a few different colors of them there as well as different colored cats.

Can anyone tell me if these cats are all from the same species? They were all feeding on the same plants at the same time I took the photos of the adult I uploaded here - http://bugguide.net/node/view/76868


I realize that just because they were together don't mean they are the same, but since there were different ones on the guide page, I thought I'd ask. Maybe different stages of growth?

Or could the black ones be Haploa moth cats?
