CLOSED: Will this catepillar be a moth or butterfly???

Deltona, FL(Zone 9b)

Looking for an ID... I have had such a problem with bugs in general but especially problems with things eating my plants but I have found another catepillar that turns into a butterfly so I have decided against it and trying to remove the bad ones by hand... (yuck)... anyway... does anyone know the ID of this catepillar?

Maybe one of the sulphur butterflies, Phoebis philea, Orange-barred sulphur:

I am so jealous! I have a seven foot candle tree this year and haven't seen a cat yet! I am told when they eat the green leaves they are green; and when they eat the blooms they turn yellow.
