Blue Striped Caterpilar

Blue Striped Caterpilar
Renton, King County, Washington, USA
Size: 1-1/2" (best recollection
Tried searching many different ways but could not find a similar picture.

Stuck in the queue?
Did this one get lost in the heap somewhere? Not complaining, thankful for the wonderful help.

(Never mind... I read what it said under "Cutworms"... collecting some dust until patterns become visible.)

Moved from ID Request.

 
UnIdentifiable?
Seems this one has been sitting a while... still recall the place I found it. I would suppose there are larva that are not possible to identify due to variation without seeing specific body parts - and even then perhaps not (or just not studied enough).

 
We don't have a caterpillar expert stop by very often
and the cutworms are quite similar as you noted. You may just have to continue waiting. Some images have been finally identified eight years after they have been posted!

 
Annual check
Yearly check-in... seems I shouldn't complain given others wait years, and I'm just thankful the site exists to help with so many as if is.

Is there some way people can get a list of all their submissions, showing which have been identified to the genus level and white the species (and which to family, etc.). I would not want to review all mine one by one, and want to make sure as time goes on that i don't submit needless duplicates from the same location. (Also, at some point I might wish to begin creating an album or local flora/fauna... a work that can never be completed I'm sure.)

It could be a while before image analysis and matching techniques, using artificial intelligence, will be pushed far enough to identify life forms. We'd lose out on some interesting discourse, but I could sure use more time to review and categorize all my images.

THANKS!

late in replying, but nonetheless, thanks. I have since learned how to search reasonably well, with some help from you and a few other kind soles. ;-)
