Moved from Butterflies and Moths. We're moving these together until we figure out what is happening with these autumn cats

Bronzed Cutworm - Nephelodes minians ??
It looks a lot like a lightly colored Bronzed Cutworm to me.

caterpillar
I agree that this caterpillar does look a lot like the others in Nephelodes minians. In that case this one is one that doesn't follow the book in that it showed up on September 15 -- much later than any of the others. In Wagner's book (p. 425) it states that the caterpillars mature and pupate in late spring and early summer.

Yes, I've read that before
Either they can't follow the rules of the species or I guess they must be something else. See Tom's matching image
