Noctuoid moths (except Arctiinae)
This moth sub-category for the superfamily Noctuoidea contains the large families Noctuidae and Erebidae as well the smaller Euteliidae, Nolidae, Notodontidae and Oenosandridae. The Arctiinae also belong to this superfamily, but are distinctive and well known so are given their own moth sub-category

@Caric : This certainly looks like a Noctuinae caterpillar, but the Noctuinae caterpillars are all very similar. Can you get an additional photo showing details of the pattern on its back?

I had wondered what the 'white' comment referred to. The ANIC ones on BOLD are all distinctly yellow even the very worn one. iNat (even verified) can only be a guide, in my opinion.
