Copper Underwing (Amphipyra pyramidoides)?

You might be able to discover what that caterpillar is at the wonderful and comprehensive site below. Search in the caterpillar section. It looks like a kind of hornworm, but there are many -- and many moths they develop into.

Thanks for your suggestions. One of the photos I've found of a Copper Underwing looks pretty similar, but it's so difficult to tell. I sent the photo weeks ago to whatsthatbug.com (I've had a link to that site on mine for a while), but I haven't heard anything back. Unfortunately, I can't find the caterpillar anymore, so I may never see what it turns into.

did it look like this? This little beauty turned into a copper underwing.

That's the closest match I've seen. Mine was more translucent, but I assume they lose this as they mature? Thanks for posting the great photo. Do you know what its cocoon looks like?

Umm.. I hate to say but I don't remember. I think it was fuzzy and included some leaf material, but don't hold me to that.
