Large Yellow Underwing Caterpillar Plump, yellow caterpillar with brown dashes on its abdominal segments. It had a tan head capsule. It was 4-5cm long. This caterpillar was alive, but inactive...It was also much more squishy and unresponsive than most caterpillars, so I was thinking that it may have been affected by the cold temperatures, and possibly dying.
