I'm not entriely sure if he emerged from the web like egg looking structure or just happens to be near it here, but he is very young, he'll grow from his current 5-8mm to 30-40mm in length before he pupates.

This small caterpillar will get much larger before he pupates, for now hes about 5-8mm in length and lovely colors.

We recently saw one of the caterpillars for this moth, in early stages. I didn't think I'd get to see an adult so soon. The moth also resembles the Miller moth, but the markings are much darker on the dagger. I've also leaned that this one is almost identical marking wise to the Dark Dagger, there for best to call this both.

Always learning, I've found that the Grey and Dark Dagger are basically identical unless given expert examination (very painful sounding) so best to list as both.
