Caterpillar on container planting

July 15, 2016 By Don

Question from PeggyCaterpillar

I found this caterpillar on my container planting. I don’t know what it is.  Can you identify it for me? I don’t know if it will do damage to my plant and if I should remove it.

Answer from Master Gardener Bob

Peggy; you have an American Lady caterpillar.  It will become a beautiful butterfly and will not hurt your plant.
