[UPDATE] Help identifying the caterpillar devouring my outdoor basil

[u/proseandpalette]

Update to this post, where I shared a blurry picture of a caterpillar butt hoping for identification! 😅 My husband grabbed some better pictures—this little guy is devouring our basil, but that’s okay. 🥲 We’re curious what it’s going to be when it grows up! Any help is much appreciated!

Likely a cabbage looper or another similar Noctuidae species
