Additional info, please
It would be very helpful if you could provide the following info:

What are the state and county in which this larva was found in the field?

Is this (in the photo) the plant species on which the larva was found in the field?

THANKS!

I found the caterpillar on a dry stem of tall grass in Shelby County, Illinois. In an open prairie.
