caterpillar found on beggartick (Bidens frondosa)

caterpillar found on beggartick (Bidens frondosa)
Millcreek Township, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, USA
July 23, 2020
Size: ~1 centimeter
Found several caterpillars on a big patch of beggartick - most looked like they were probably earlier instars of this one. Beggartick was heavily eaten; haven't previously seen such dramatic feeding on that plant.
