That looks right. I see there
That looks right. I see there's no food source on the info page, but a quick google search reveals oak. I was curious about this because the spot I picked it up from was mostly barren, unless it had fallen from an oak tree. Actually, the background in my picture is mulch for the oak seedlings I was potting up. If it had an eye toward devouring my plants, its plans have been foiled. I'll feed it some oak leaves from the tree over where I found it and see if it takes them.

Orthosia hibisci?
Could this be Orthosia hibisci? Never mind. I don't think it looks like it, but I don't have any other suggestions.

I don't think so
That one has a prominent hump on one of the rear segments, absent in mine.
