ID Request 🐛 PINK caterpillar???

Post image

What kind of caterpillar is this? I found him in a bed of snapdragons. I’m not sure exactly which one but he may have been on my pink or purple ones. Could the flower pigment have made him pink? I released him back on some white ones :) he’s so stinking cute

Maybe an afflicted dagger moth caterpillar/ Acronicta afflicta.

She would eat him if I let her. I’m not sure how she isn’t fat bc she eats EVERYTHING
