Any idea of what else might have been in the alfalfa field?
This looks more like a Grass Looper to us, such as Caenurgina or Doryodes, etc. Quite a few feed on Clover and other Legumes. The other possibility would be Lesmone which feeds on the legume Cassia. Something similar here, but this is a tough group

Alfalfa?
I should have mentioned that there were a few weeds in the alfalfa field that most likely were swept too. Thank you John and Jane for your kind help.
