Unknown Larva

Unknown Larva
Buxton , Traill County, North Dakota, USA
September 21, 2020
Unknown Ova and hatching larva found on underside of a Dogbane leaf. Young feasted on dogbane for several weeks. I released majority of the larva back in area where I found them. 3 instar I was thinking Cloverworm Moth so I added clover to there diet. Last week I released a few more back to the wild and had 6 left to rear. I believe the caterpillars are huge eaters of their own siblings. Today I have 2 remaining and placed them in separate containers.
