I found this a few days ago on a Beetroot plant in the UK but cannot confirm ID. I think it maybe a Hamearis lucinda, Family Riodinidae aka a Duke of Bergundy butterfly caterpillar or perhaps a Buff Ermine Butterfly caterpillar. I don't believe either are found in America.

Thank you JRiepe, it was a pretty little thing. I wish now that I had kept and raised it. Next time perhaps.

That's one fine shot. Bet it's a moth, but no idea what.

Thank you, the consensus of opinion is settling on one of the Ermine moth cats, perhaps a young one, it seems their colour is variable and also depends on age.

Oh, Brenda..! This is truly a 5-star image with its spot on focus, clarity and high level of detail.
