There is also a cutworm "Nociudae" which is a larva of a moth. There are
actually 3 different ones that I have encountered, There is a white one with
a black head, a brown one, the one ID's above is a green one

There are also, Variegated, Black, diny, bronze and sandhill species. Just
for a few more.

These are also moth larva.
