Found this caterpillar munching on my Sarracenia yesterday evening. So I took a few pics to try and identify it, then I noticed the pictures were turning out pretty nice - it was dusk and the flash was going off, so I snapped a few more while I was out there. Oh, and I never got a 100% positive ID on the caterpillar, although I think it is a fall webworm (Hyphantria cunea).

Here it is, after falling in while attempting to pick it off the plant. It soon crawled back out:
