Your letter to the bugman: Can you please help me identify this caterpillar I pulled off my hops plant in late May/early June?

Dear Sandra,
When attempting to identify plant feeding insects, it is tremendously helpful to know the food plant. Thanks for informing us this Caterpillar was feeding on hops. We quickly identified it as the caterpillar of a Questionmark butterfly thanks to BugGuide. Here is a BugGuide image that looks even more like your individual. The adult Questionmark is a beautiful butterfly.
