I looked at a couple sites, for ID, the closest I have come, is to an inchworm, but they seem to be mostly brown but with the same small head, so Im not sure. I dont want to kill a good cat, so I thought I would try here 1st.
It was found munching on my Canna leaves, actually it did quite a bit of damage.
Can anyone help?

It looks like a Skipper Butterfly cat. If you could get a clearer brighter pic I may be able to ID it for you
looks like a Brazilian Skipper Calpodes ethlius
Thank you Donna! I went to check on it this morning, and it had rolled the leaf I put in the bucket right around itself.
Is there anything special I should do with it? Will it even survive here in Colorado, or migrate back south? It came in some plants, so I dont know quite what to do, and I surely have never raised a cat into a skipper LOL.
Here is a brighter picture. I just snapped one real quick last night, and couldnt use the flash, because it made the cat look completely white.
Thank you again!

Shelly just leave it alone. He will take care of himself
