Brown Hooded Owlet Moth Caterpillar
Dear clueless,
Do not be so hard on yourself. You know it is a caterpillar and you know it is beautiful. Now you know it is a Brown Hooded Owlet Moth Caterpillar, Cucullia convexipennis, and you may see a matching image on BugGuide. Also according to BugGuide, they eat the flowers and leaves of goldenrod and aster.
