Mystery caterpillar II - Melitara junctolineella

Mystery caterpillar II - Melitara junctolineella
Austin, Travis County, Texas, USA
April 20, 2017
Size: 2"
Looks like was heading to pupate

Moved
The banded one in Travis Co should be junctoliniella, though it is not clear what texana should look like

Doesn't look quite right for Xanthopastis
which we have seen on wetland plants. This looks much drier, so we are thinking maybe Prickly Pear??

perhaps Xanthopastis regnatrix
