Yes blame parents for this one,as all lessons on nature start at home,and because they never take the time to show their kids nature even in the back yard,slugs n snails,ants,bees,wasps,flies,spiders etc are all intriguing to children when shown in their natural environment,I hardly ever spent any time inside,I was always outside that's why I'm extremely connected to nature....but its also funny how other countries call these different things too,when there is only one species of this insect yet you call it an inchworm..its from a family commonly referred to as owlet moths..

Scientific name: Trichoplusia ni
Family: Noctuidae
Order: Lepidoptera
Domain: Eukaryota
Genus: Trichoplusia
Phylum: Arthropoda

Inchworms! Little green inchworms! It’s crazy how many city children don’t get out into the gardens. I ask the kids in first grade and they never saw one! I have to show a video!

In the meantime he'll devour a load of your plants and then turn into a moth not a butterfly, hes called a 'cabbage looper caterpillar',you dont really want them in your vege garden,they will eat everything in sight,put holes in all leaves if they dont devour the whole plant..
