Coordinator notes: This was a bit hard to verify because of inconsistent caterpillar photos of this species on vaious web sites, also an apparent genus name change (genus used to be Lepipolys). I believe the submittal photo is of a later instar larva, while some (on the Moth Photography Group's web site, for ex.) show an earlier instar larva which looks quite different. In the end, I found enough photos that match the subject photo as the suggested id, Sympistis perscripta, including another one on Snapdragon vine, Maurandella antirrhiniflora.
