Owlet moth larva
An unassuming little cat that we found at Prairie Garden Trust, this guy is likely a member of the Noctuidae family (Owlet moths, armyworms and cutworms), which is the second largest in Lepidoptera with more than 1000 genera and 10,000 species. And here I thought that Empidonax flycatchers were bad... [updated ID, thx to Ozark Bill: Double-humped Pococera Moth larva, Pococera expandens]
