Brown Caterpillar
Fontenelle Forest, Bellevue, Sarpy County, Nebraska, USA
November 4, 2011
Size: approx 1 inch
We think this might be a Brown Scoopwing caterpillar, based on image in Wagner, p. 216. Any help with ID appreciated.

Thanks,

Doesn't look like a scoopwing to us,
but can't say what it is, sorry. Any larger images we could enlarge? Sure is plenty of slime mold!
