It's all by itself, I have been watching it grow over the last week. It's a baby catapiller, it's hairs have gotten more noticeable. When I first found it, it had a black head, two days it turned yellow. It's body color was definitely a lot more green also, yesterday it was all green, today it looks lighter on its sides and below its head the color has a blue color. It's back is still that green, with a little yellow.

probably Argidae
based on appearance

Does not look to be Lepidoptera
We would suggest instead the larva of a Sawfly.
