Found this caterpillar at work on some stargazer liles and I debated on taking it home but I lost it. Lol
What does this turn into?

Looks like an arctiid in the genus Spilosoma - http://i.ytimg.com/vi/rU4_ZD5wYpQ/0.jpg

Ohh okay thanks. I've seen a lot of those moths in the garden center this year.
