lol, the only reason i say that is that (imho) anytime they have that little brown head, they are usually not good. it's not going to turn into a big, beautiful butterfly.

Many of the skippers and moths have brown heads...I say 'don't squish'.

I can't tell by the pic what it is, but my guess would be a moth that is going to find a place to pupate on the ground.

Well, I haven't been able to find it - so have not squished.

I can't find it, it's maybe one of the many Owlet Moths?
