Caterpillars on collard greens - Evergestis rimosalis
Cary, Wake County, North Carolina, USA

These caterpillars were fairly common on the collard greens in our garden. I had thought checkered white, but now I'm thinking that Cross-striped cabbageworm might be a better match. Can this be ID'd? Thanks.
