Hi

I live in Colorado, by Denver.
I found this caterpillar in my garage, any idea what it is?
And if yes, what to feed it to make the kids happy?

Thanks

Just a cutworm.  Will turn into a moth  In particular a Bronze Cutworm.(link below(see big picture top of page) )  As for food don't think they are picky as long as it is growing.

Bronze Cutworm

Blueberry pie is best when it is firm and you can hold in your hand. Smell it. And smell this tiny ad:
