whatever this creature is, it totally decimated her kale crop. Sorry for the blurry image. I also took a picture of the front and back ends but don't know which is which haha. Please id if possible. It's about an inch long and there are many others on the plant that are minute, maybe less then 1/8" long.
Looks like a caterpillar of the imported cabbageworm, Pieris rapae, also known as cabbage white butterfly. See https://www.growveg.com/pests/us-and-canada/cabbage-worm-cabbageworm-cabbage-looper/
Thank you @Flapdoodle for the answer to an annoying pest question.
